# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it thick enough to feel like a milkshake but with protein that keeps you full for hours
  • Takes literally five minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have in your fridge
02 -
  • If your blender isn't powerful, blend the liquid and yogurt first before adding the frozen fruit to prevent straining the motor
  • Smoothies separate quickly, so drink within 15 minutes or give it a quick stir before sipping
03 -
  • Add protein powder after blending and pulse just a few times to avoid that chalky texture
  • If your smoothie is too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries or a spoonful of yogurt
