# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes genuinely like a milkshake but quietly delivers over twenty grams of protein per glass.
  • The whole thing comes together in under five minutes with zero cooking and almost no dishes.
02 -
  • Blend too long and the cookie pieces disappear entirely, leaving you with a grayish drink that tastes flat.
  • Frozen banana is the difference between a watery smoothie and something that coats the glass like a real milkshake.
03 -
  • Chill your glass in the freezer for five minutes beforehand and the shake stays cold twice as long.
  • Save one quarter of a cookie for garnish because the visual payoff is worth the extra three seconds.
