# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The frozen fruit does all the heavy lifting so you never need ice, which means pure concentrated flavor in every bite.
  • It feels like eating dessert for breakfast but your body knows it got something profoundly good.
  • Toppings turn it into an art project, and honestly we all need a little morning creativity.
02 -
  • If you add too much liquid you will get a smoothie in a bowl instead of something you can eat with a spoon, and the toppings will sink like stones.
  • A high speed blender makes this exponentially easier because standard blenders struggle with the small amount of liquid and frozen fruit combination.
03 -
  • Freeze your bananas flat in a single layer on a parchment lined tray before bagging them so they do not fuse into an unblendable boulder.
  • Keep a bag of frozen mango and spinach portioned together in your freezer so morning assembly takes about ninety seconds from start to spoon.
