# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it feel like drinking a milkshake but with nutritional benefits that actually power you through the morning
  • Its ridiculously forgiving and you can swap out fruit based on whatever looks sad in your crisper drawer
02 -
  • Frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice which just waters everything down as it melts and nobody wants a watery smoothie
  • The spinach flavor completely disappears once blended but the color stays vibrant which feels like a small victory
03 -
  • Pre-portion smoothie packs in freezer bags with fruit and spinach then just dump in the liquids and blend on busy mornings
  • Invest in a blender with enough power to handle frozen fruit because cheap ones will leave you with chunky disappointing results
