01 -

The spinach vanishes completely into the fruity sweetness, making it perfect for picky eaters or anyone new to green smoothies.
It takes five minutes from fridge to glass, giving you a nutrient boost even on the most chaotic mornings.
The frozen fruit makes it thick and creamy without needing ice that waters everything down.
You can customize it endlessly with whatever greens or fruit you have on hand.

02 -

Freeze your banana ahead of time for a thicker, creamier texture that feels more like a milkshake than a juice.
Always add the liquid first before the frozen fruit so your blender does not get stuck or strain the motor.
If the smoothie tastes too green, add more frozen fruit rather than more sweetener to keep it naturally sweet.

03 -

Use a high powered blender if possible to completely pulverize the greens and frozen fruit without leaving any chunks.
Add a handful of ice if your fruit is not frozen, but expect a slightly thinner texture and more diluted flavor.
Blend the spinach and liquid first for a few seconds before adding the fruit to ensure the greens break down completely.
