# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • This smoothie tastes indulgent and creamy even though it's low in calories—no one at my table guessed it was a diet-friendly pick.
  • The blend of greens, berries, and protein powder keeps you full for hours, making it my go-to when I want something quick and nourishing.
02 -
  • Adding the protein powder before the greens helps it blend completely—one time I did the reverse and discovered a pocket of powder at the bottom.
  • Letting frozen berries sit out for a minute or two before blending prevents the dreaded blender jam.
03 -
  • Stirring in chia seeds after blending can prevent your smoothie from thickening too much while it sits.
  • Using frozen fruit instead of ice prevents dilution and keeps the flavor bold.
