01 -

It tastes like dessert for breakfast, but you actually feel energized instead of crashed.
Ready in five minutes flat, which means you can make it on days when you're running late and still feel like you're taking care of yourself.
Naturally creamy without being heavy, and so adaptable that you can tweak it based on what you have or how you're feeling.

The ripeness of your banana matters more than you'd think—underripe and you get chalky; overripe and you get that fermented sweetness that can't be undone.
If you blend too long, the friction heats everything up and it loses that crisp, cold texture that makes it feel indulgent.

Frozen banana slices made ahead take all the guesswork out of consistency and mean you can skip half the ice.
A pinch of salt in with the cocoa powder wakes up the chocolate flavor without adding saltiness you can taste.
