# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like a tropical milkshake, not a salad in a cup.
  • You can make it in under five minutes, even half awake.
  • It fills you up without weighing you down, perfect before a long day.
02 -
  • Frozen mango is better than fresh here because it thickens the smoothie without diluting the flavor like ice does.
  • If your blender struggles with the avocado, add the liquid first and blend the greens alone before adding the rest.
03 -
  • Freeze your banana in chunks the night before so you do not need as much ice and the texture stays creamy.
  • Use a high speed blender if possible, it makes the spinach completely disappear and the drink silky smooth in seconds.
