# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combo of cherry, mango, and coconut tastes way more decadent than you’d ever expect for a five-minute recipe.
  • You can toss in optional boosts, so it adapts easily to whatever your day (or cravings) require.
02 -
  • I once forgot to use frozen fruit, which diluted the flavor and made it watery—now I'm devoted to pulling bags from the freezer.
  • After a few tries, I discovered coconut water keeps it light, whereas all coconut milk can make it overly rich for breakfast.
03 -
  • Let the smoothie blend a little longer than you think so every cherry skin and coconut flake is smooth, not gritty.
  • Layer liquids under the frozen fruit in your blender to help the blades catch and pull everything through without stalls.
