# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like summer even in the middle of winter, and takes less time to make than checking your email.
  • The texture is thick and satisfying, like eating frozen yogurt with a spoon but actually good for you.
  • It's endlessly customizable, so you can raid your pantry and feel like a chef every single time.
02 -
  • If you blend for too long, the yogurt can separate and the whole thing gets weirdly foamy, so stop as soon as you hit smooth and thick.
  • The lemon juice amount matters more than you'd think because it's not just flavor, it's what keeps the blueberries from tasting one-note and flat.
03 -
  • Keep a bag of sliced frozen bananas and frozen blueberries in your freezer at all times because this takes longer to write about than to actually make.
  • Freeze the bowl itself for five minutes before serving if you're in a rush and need the smoothie to stay thick instead of melting, which is a game changer in summer.
