# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It tastes like a frappuccino but costs about fifty cents and takes two minutes
- The banana completely cuts any bitterness from the coffee, so you get all the energy without the harsh aftertaste
02 -
- Hot coffee will melt your ice and make a watery, sad smoothie—cool it completely or use cold brew
- Frozen bananas transform this completely, making it thick like soft serve instead of drinkable
03 -
- Peel and break bananas into chunks before freezing, or you will need a hammer and serious determination
- Cold brew coffee works beautifully here and eliminates any waiting time for cooling
