# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it thick enough to feel like a treat while still being healthy enough for breakfast
  • It comes together in literally five minutes, which means no excuses for skipping breakfast
02 -
  • Using frozen strawberries instead of fresh eliminates the need for ice, which can water down the flavor
  • The banana is nonnegotiable for texture. Without it, the smoothie stays thin and watery no matter how long you blend
03 -
  • Start with less milk than you think you need. It is easier to thin it out than to thicken it up
  • Let frozen fruit sit on the counter for 5 minutes before blending to protect your blender motor
