School Morning Smoothies in Under 5 Minutes cover

Key takeaway: Pre-portion dry premix on Sunday; weekday mornings are just blend-and-pour.

The Sunday prep

Portion cocoa-banana premix into seven jars. Keep chilled milk or plant milk ready. On school mornings, dump one jar into the blender with milk and ice — 40 seconds, done.

Boosters kids accept

  • 1 tsp peanut butter for protein
  • A handful of spinach (they won't taste it under cocoa)
  • Half a frozen banana for creaminess

Serve in a cup with a lid for the car — spill-proof and smile-proof.
