# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes it creamy enough to fool your brain into thinking youre drinking a milkshake
  • Spinach completely disappears behind pineapple and banana so you get your greens without the grassy taste
02 -
  • Frozen banana is the difference between a watery juice and a thick creamy smoothie you actually want to finish
  • The spinach must go in first with liquid on bottom or it just flies around and stays in chunky pieces
03 -
  • Start your blender on low speed to prevent spinach from sticking to the sides
  • Let the smoothie sit for one minute after blending to let the foam settle before pouring
