# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This smoothie keeps you full for hours without that heavy breakfast feeling
  • The tangy Greek yogurt cuts through the banana sweetness so it never tastes like dessert
02 -
  • Frozen bananas transform this into something almost like soft serve ice cream
  • Over-blending can make it too thin and warm so stop as soon as it is smooth
03 -
  • Let your ripe bananas go almost completely brown before freezing them
  • Start your blender on low before cranking it to high to prevent air pockets
