# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- The Greek yogurt makes it feel substantial enough to power you through until lunch without that shaky feeling
- Pineapple masks any grassiness from the spinach so you actually look forward to drinking your greens
- It takes five minutes flat and uses ingredients I almost always have in my fridge
02 -
- Frozen fruit changes everything so if you like thick smoothies stash your overripe bananas in the freezer
- Sometimes the spinach gets stuck in the corners so stop the blender and push it down with a spoon
- This does not keep well so drink it right after making or within an hour at most
03 -
- Put liquids in the blender first to help the blades spin freely
- Rip very ripe bananas into chunks before freezing so they blend easier
