My Personal Tips for the Best Results

• Use frozen strawberries to get that thick, smoothie-shop texture without needing extra ice.
  
• Don’t skip the green tea—it really helps with that fat-burning edge, and you can’t even taste it once it’s blended in.
  
• Let the chia seeds sit in the smoothie for a minute or two before drinking. They’ll soak up liquid and make it more filling.
  
• Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder if you want to turn this into a post-workout shake.
  

Substitutions & Add-Ons

• Dairy-Free? Swap Greek yogurt with a plant-based protein yogurt or extra almond milk.
  
• No green tea? Try coconut water for hydration or just skip it entirely.
  
• Need more fat? Add a spoonful of almond butter or avocado for extra creaminess.
  
• Want it sweeter? Use a bit of honey, maple syrup, or a few drops of liquid stevia.
  

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

Yes! You can blend it ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a shake or stir before drinking.

Is this smoothie keto-friendly?

Not quite, due to the natural sugars in strawberries. But you can make a lower-carb version by reducing the fruit and swapping Greek yogurt for a high-fat alternative.

Will this smoothie keep me full until lunch?

Yes, especially if you add chia seeds and Greek yogurt. For even more staying power, add a scoop of protein or nut butter.

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

You can, but add a few ice cubes to make up for the thickness you lose from using frozen fruit.
