01 -

The Greek yogurt makes it feel substantial enough to power you through a morning without that hollow hunger an hour later
It is secretly loaded with spinach but the pineapple and banana completely hide any grassy taste

02 -

Frozen fruit is your friend here because it eliminates the need for ice which just waters everything down
Start with less liquid than you think you need because you can always add more but you cannot take it out

03 -

If your smoothie separates after sitting, just give it a quick stir and it is good to go
Invest in a blender with at least 900 watts because cheap ones leave leafy chunks that ruin the experience
