# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The spinach completely vanishes into the fruit, so you get the nutrition without any grassy aftertaste.
  • Five minutes from blender to glass means you can actually make this on a busy morning without guilt.
  • It's naturally sweet and creamy without feeling like a sugar bomb or a health punishment.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is your friend here—it's cheaper than fresh, lasts forever, and gives you that thick, creamy consistency that makes it feel indulgent.
  • If you use too much spinach without enough liquid, the blender will struggle and give you something closer to sludge than smoothie, so don't eyeball it.
03 -
  • Freeze your bananas in advance by slicing them and laying them flat on a baking sheet before bagging—they blend faster and never waste.
  • Keep bags of frozen mango and pineapple in your freezer as insurance against uninspired breakfasts, because having ingredients ready means you'll actually make this.
