# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The banana freezes into creaminess without any dairy, making it naturally thick and satisfying
  • You can make it in under five minutes with ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • Using a frozen banana instead of fresh makes all the difference between a watery juice and a creamy smoothie
  • Packing your spinach down firmly in the measuring cup ensures you actually get a full cup, not just a loose handful
03 -
  • Add a knob of fresh ginger for a spicy kick that also helps with inflammation and digestion
  • If your apples aren't sweet enough, a medjool date or two will add natural sweetness without refined sugar
