# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get two full cups of greens without tasting a single leaf of spinach
  • It comes together in literally five minutes with ingredients you probably already have
  • The frozen fruit creates the creamiest texture without any dairy or added sugar
02 -
  • If your blender struggles, add the liquid first and let the spinach soften for 30 seconds before blending
  • Frozen fruit is non negotiable here, ice will just water everything down
  • The order matters, put spinach on bottom so it gets pulled into the blades properly
03 -
  • Pack your spinach cups tight, they shrink down dramatically when blended
  • If it is too thick, add more milk, not water, or you will lose the creamy texture
