# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • This smoothie hides veggies so well, you can barely taste the spinach—it’s like a cheerful secret each morning.
  • It became a staple because I can tweak it with whatever’s on hand, and it always comes out super creamy.
02 -
  • I once used way too much spinach in a hurry—just a cup is perfect for balance, otherwise it can turn a touch grassy.
  • Blending the liquid first before piling in the frozen fruit helps everything move without burning out the blender motor.
03 -
  • Start your blender on low and work up to high—the texture ends up so much smoother.
  • Swapping in coconut water in place of milk on hot days gives the smoothie a refreshing twist.
