# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it thick enough to eat with a spoon if you want, but smooth enough to sip
  • It keeps me full for hours without that crash I get from sugary breakfast drinks
02 -
  • Frozen bananas completely eliminate the need for ice and make the smoothie thick like soft serve
  • Letting the blender run an extra 15 seconds makes a huge difference in getting that perfectly smooth texture
03 -
  • Add liquid ingredients first to help the blades move freely
  • If your blender struggles, stop and shake the container or use a tamper
