# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it thick enough to feel like a milkshake while packing enough protein to keep you full until lunch
  • Five minutes from cupboard to cup means it actually happens on busy weekday mornings
02 -
  • Scraping down the sides of the blender halfway through prevents those frustrating chunks of frozen fruit that refuse to blend
  • If the smoothie seems too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency
03 -
  • Investing frozen fruit directly into the blender eliminates the need for ice, which can water down the flavor
  • Letting the blender run an extra 15 seconds makes the smoothie noticeably smoother and creamier
