# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes genuinely like a milkshake but comes together in under five minutes with zero cooking.
  • Frozen bananas do all the heavy lifting for creaminess, so you never need to feel guilty about wanting something this rich on a random Wednesday.
02 -
  • Do not skip freezing your bananas ahead of time, because fresh bananas blended with ice turn watery instead of thick and luscious.
  • Cheap cocoa powder can taste flat and chalky, so spring for something decent and you will notice the difference immediately.
03 -
  • Slice your bananas before freezing them because whole frozen bananas will humble your blender in ways you do not want to experience.
  • A tiny pinch of salt blended in at the end makes the chocolate flavor pop like nothing else you have tried.
