# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Frozen fruit means you can taste the tropics in January without leaving your zip code.
  • It takes exactly as long as scrolling through your phone before breakfast, but you actually get something delicious out of it.
02 -
  • If you use fresh fruit instead of frozen, definitely add ice cubes or you will end up with something closer to juice than a smoothie.
  • A splash of fresh lime juice squeezed in at the end completely changes the flavor in the best possible way.
03 -
  • Freeze overripe mango and pineapple in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag so they never clump together.
  • Blend the liquid and greens first if you are adding spinach, then add the fruit for the smoothest texture possible.
