# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like vacation in a glass, no passport required and no sand in awkward places.
  • Five minutes from fridge to face, which is faster than deciding what to watch on any streaming service.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is the secret weapon here. Fresh fruit sounds romantic but it makes a watery smoothie unless you add ice, which dilutes the flavor.
  • Blend the liquid and softer ingredients first before dumping in frozen rock solid fruit chunks to save your blender blades and your eardrums.
03 -
  • Freeze your overripe bananas peeled and chopped so you always have smoothie ready sweetness without wasting a single one.
  • A tiny pinch of salt in the blender makes the tropical flavors pop like nothing else you have ever tasted.
