# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it thick enough to feel like a real meal, not just flavored milk
  • You can prep everything the night before and literally just blend and run
02 -
  • Frozen fruit makes a huge difference in texture, so if you like thick smoothies, that's your move
  • The chia seeds will keep thickening if you let it sit, so drink it right away or plan for that
03 -
  • Overripe bananas that are basically sad can be peeled and frozen for smoothies—it's zero waste and makes them way creamier
  • Too thick? Add more milk. Too thin? Throw in some yogurt or a few more oats
