# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally five minutes start to finish, which is basically the amount of time it takes to realize you're running late
  • The Greek yogurt makes it substantial enough to actually count as breakfast, not just a sad milk situation
02 -
  • Frozen bananas change everything about smoothies and I honestly can't go back to fresh ones anymore
  • Over-blending can make it thin and watery, so stop once it looks smooth and creamy
03 -
  • Let your blender run a little longer than you think necessary, especially if you're adding seeds
  • Room temperature ingredients blend way more smoothly than cold-from-the-fridge items
