Tips and Tricks
- Freeze Your Yogurt: For an extra thick and frosty smoothie, freeze the Greek yogurt before blending. This will give the smoothie a creamier texture.

- Add Protein: For an added protein boost, you can include a scoop of protein powder, especially if you’re having this as a post-workout snack.
