# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The Greek yogurt makes it thick enough to feel like a real breakfast, not just a drink
- It comes together in literally five minutes, which is all the time I have on weekday mornings
02 -
- Frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice, which can water down the flavor
- Letting the blender run longer than you think creates that silky professional texture
03 -
- Add a handful of spinach and you won't even taste it, but your body will thank you
- Freeze extra strawberries when they're on sale so you're always ready to blend
