# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The green color is honestly shocking but the taste is pure tropical sunshine
- You get two servings of vegetables before 9 AM without realizing it
02 -
- Frozen fruit is non negotiable here. Fresh fruit makes the base too thin and watery.
- Your blender needs to be powerful enough to break down frozen banana completely or you will get weird chunks.
03 -
- Let the smoothie base sit for one minute after blending to let air bubbles settle
- Use a high speed blender like a Vitamix for restaurant quality texture
