# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Your family won't taste a hint of greens, just sweet, tropical fruit flavors that feel like dessert for breakfast.
  • It takes five minutes from fridge to glass, perfect for mornings when time is tight.
  • One smoothie packs more vegetables than most people eat in a snack, making it feel secretly virtuous.
02 -
  • If your spinach doesn't completely disappear into the smooth base, your blender probably isn't quite powerful enough; let it run longer or blend in smaller batches.
  • Frozen banana makes this creamy without needing ice, which would otherwise water everything down as it melts.
03 -
  • Freeze your banana slices in a bag so they're always ready to blend, and they'll make your smoothies infinitely creamier than fresh banana ever could.
  • If your blender struggles with leafy greens, blend the spinach with the liquid first to create a smooth base, then add the frozen fruit and blend again.
