# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Frozen mango and pineapple mean you can make this in the dead of winter and still feel like you are somewhere warm.
  • Five minutes is all it takes from opening the fridge to swallowing your first sip.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is the real secret here because it eliminates the need for ice, which waters down the flavor.
  • A slightly overripe banana will make the whole smoothie taste significantly sweeter without any added sugar.
03 -
  • Blend the liquid and greens first if you ever add spinach, then add the fruit for a smoother result.
  • A pinch of salt sounds wrong in a smoothie but it actually heightens every fruity note.
