# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The protein from Greek yogurt keeps you full for hours without any heavy feelings
  • It takes literally five minutes from cabinet to cup
  • You can prep everything the night before and just blend and go
02 -
  • Frozen banana instead of fresh makes a milkshake-like texture that feels indulgent
  • Over-blending can make oats gritty so pulse briefly after the initial smooth blend
  • The smoothie thickens if it sits so drink right away or stir in more milk before serving
03 -
  • Add the liquid first then yogurt then heavier ingredients for easier blending
  • Start with less sweetener than you think you need because fruit varies in sweetness
