# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The lemon cuts through the sweetness making it taste bright instead of heavy
  • You can customize the toppings based on whatever you have in your pantry
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is not optional here because fresh fruit will make everything watery and sad
  • Eat immediately because the smoothie base melts faster than you think it will
03 -
  • Freeze your yogurt in an ice cube tray for an even thicker base
  • Use a vegetable peeler to get beautiful ribbons of lemon zest instead of tiny bits
