02 -
  • Frozen bananas create a dramatically thicker, creamier texture than fresh ones
  • Over-blending can make Greek yogurt separate slightly, so stop once smooth
  • Adding ice waters down the flavor, frozen fruit is a better solution
03 -

  • Use ripe bananas with lots of brown spots, theyre naturally sweeter and blend smoother
