# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it feel indulgent while packing in serious protein that keeps you full for hours
  • It is ridiculously forgiving, you can swap fruits, change the liquid, and it still turns out perfectly drinkable
02 -
  • Spinach turns bitter if you blend it too long, once it is smooth, stop, do not keep running the blender while you do other things
  • Frozen fruit changes the game completely, keep a stash of pre cut banana and pineapple in your freezer for thick smoothies every time
03 -
  • Invest in frozen fruit, it creates that thick creamy texture without watering down your drink like ice does
  • Start with less liquid than you think you need, you can always add more but you cannot take it back
