01 -

It comes together in literally five minutes, which matters when you are rushing out the door
The texture is somehow both light and filling, thanks to that protein punch from Greek yogurt

02 -

Frozen banana slices change everything, they make it thick like a milkshake without watering it down
If your blender is struggling, add just a splash more milk and pulse again

03 -

Let your blender run a little longer than you think, the smoother it is, the better it tastes
If you are making this ahead, give it a quick stir before drinking because separation is natural
