# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The tropical flavors completely mask any trace of spinach, making it perfect for skeptical eaters or kids who refuse anything green.
  • It comes together in under five minutes, which means no excuses on busy mornings.
02 -
  • Frozen mango or banana makes the smoothie thicker and colder without diluting the flavor like ice cubes would.
  • Coconut milk from a can creates a much creamier result than carton coconut milk, which sometimes separates during blending.
03 -
  • Freeze peeled mango chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a bag, so you always have smoothie ready fruit without ice cube dilution.
  • Blend the spinach and liquid first before adding fruit for a completely smooth texture with no leafy bits.
