# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a vacation in a glass, so you won't feel like you're doing yourself a favor.
  • Five minutes start to finish means no excuses on hectic mornings.
  • The spinach disappears completely, making it perfect if you're sneaking greens into someone's diet.
  • Naturally sweet from fruit, so you skip the sugar crash that comes later.
02 -
  • Frozen banana changes everything—it creates creaminess without watering down your smoothie, so invest thirty seconds in freezing bananas ahead of time.
  • Add liquid first and greens last, or spinach gets trapped and refuses to blend properly, which I learned the frustrating way.
03 -
  • Blend liquid and greens for five seconds before adding fruit—it breaks down the spinach so it blends more completely and invisibly.
  • Frozen fruit is your friend; it eliminates the need for ice cubes and prevents dilution while keeping everything cold and thick.
