06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

07 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds

01 -

It takes five minutes from start to finish, which means you actually have time for it
The protein keeps you full until lunch without that heavy breakfast feeling

02 -

Frozen bananas eliminate the need for ice cubes entirely while making it thicker
Over-blending can actually warm up the mixture, so stop as soon as it looks smooth

03 -

Let the blender run a little longer than you think necessary, especially if you added chia seeds
A drop of almond extract instead of vanilla creates this subtle marzipan flavor that is unexpectedly delicious
