# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The banana sneaks in enough sweetness that you wont even notice youre drinking something so healthy
  • It takes literally five minutes from pulling out the blender to taking that first refreshing sip
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that fresh spinach can turn this smoothie unpleasantly bitter after sitting too long, so drink it right away
  • Using completely frozen banana instead of fresh makes the difference between a watery juice and a creamy smoothie
03 -
  • Freeze your banana in slices beforehand so you do not have to wrestle with a frozen whole banana
  • Pack the spinach down really tight in your measuring cup because it takes up way more volume than you think
