# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt creates a velvety texture that feels like a treat without being heavy
  • This comes together in under five minutes but tastes like something from a juice bar
02 -
  • Frozen fruit makes all the difference for texture and I almost never use fresh berries anymore
  • Over-blending can make smoothies warm and frothy in a bad way, so stop as soon as everything looks uniform
03 -
  • Use a tamper or pause to shake the blender if ingredients get stuck
  • Start with half the liquid and add more gradually until you reach your preferred thickness
