# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The frozen fruit does double duty, replacing ice so nothing gets watered down.
  • It tastes like a tropical vacation but comes together in about five minutes with zero cooking.
  • Both blueberries and peaches bring natural sweetness, so you can skip the maple syrup entirely if you want.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is the real secret here, since fresh peaches and blueberries will leave you with a lukewarm smoothie unless you add ice.
  • If you use only coconut milk and skip the coconut water, you will get something thick enough to eat with a spoon, which is actually wonderful as a smoothie bowl.
03 -
  • Freeze your coconut milk in ice cube trays and use those instead of liquid for an ultra thick, ultra creamy result.
  • A pinch of sea salt blended in at the end makes the fruit flavors pop in a way that surprises everyone who tries it.
