# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • It tastes like a treat but sneaks in fiber, antioxidants, and protein without trying too hard.
  • You can make it with whatever berries are in your freezer and it still works.
  • The toppings turn it into something you want to eat slowly instead of gulp on your way out the door.
02 -
  • If your smoothie is too runny you added too much milk, just throw in a few more frozen berries and blend again.
  • The chia seeds will keep thickening the smoothie as it sits, so if you want it really thick let it rest in the blender for two minutes before pouring.
03 -
  • Freeze your banana slices ahead of time and you can skip the ice completely, it makes the smoothie even thicker.
  • If you don't have chia seeds a tablespoon of ground flaxseed does the same thickening job and you won't taste the difference.
