# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it thick enough to feel like a real meal, not just a flavored drink
  • You can prep everything the night before and blend in literally two minutes
02 -
  • If your smoothie is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time, not a whole cup at once
  • Over-blending can make it warm and frothy in a weird way, so stop as soon as it looks smooth
03 -
  • Freeze your own ripe strawberries when theyre on sale instead of buying expensive frozen ones
  • Let frozen fruit sit on the counter for five minutes before blending to protect your blender motor
