Notes
If you want a more filling smoothie, you can swap the Greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder. This is my favorite on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2pV6chA (affiliate link).
You wouldn't freeze it with the fruit though. When you go to make the smoothie pour the milk in your blender, then the scoop of protein powder, then the frozen smoothie pack so everything blends better.
You can also add 2 Tablespoons of flaxseed meal or 1 Tbsp chia seeds for extra health benefits (Omega-3 fatty acids) when you add the protein powder.
