# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Frozen fruit means zero prep work and a naturally thick, creamy texture without ice.
- It tastes like a tropical vacation but comes together in under five minutes.
02 -
- Frozen fruit is non negotiable here because fresh fruit will give you a watery, thin smoothie that disappoints.
- If you use full fat coconut milk from a can, add a splash more coconut water or the smoothie turns into pudding.
03 -
- Freeze coconut milk in ice cube trays and use those instead of plain coconut milk for an even thicker, colder smoothie.
- A tiny pinch of salt enhances the sweetness more than extra sugar ever will.
