# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The banana naturally sweetens everything so you do not need much added sugar
  • It takes literally five minutes from cupboard to glass
  • Customizable with whatever milk you have in the fridge
02 -
  • Frozen bananas change everything about the texture, making it thick enough to eat with a spoon
  • Coffee must be completely cooled or the ice will melt too fast and water down the flavor
03 -
  • Brew your coffee slightly stronger than usual because the banana and milk will mellow the flavor
  • Peel and slice overripe bananas then freeze them in baggies so you are always ready
