# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • The vibrant green color makes you feel virtuous before you even take a bite
  • Frozen fruit creates the perfect ice cream like texture without any added sugar
  • Customizable toppings mean you never get bored with the same combination twice
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is non negotiable here, unless you want to add ice and dilute all those vibrant tropical flavors
  • The order you add ingredients to the blender matters, liquids first if you're having trouble getting things moving
  • If your spinach taste is coming through too strong, you probably didn't use enough frozen banana
03 -
  • Use a high speed blender or you'll end up with leafy chunks instead of that silky smooth texture
  • Let the frozen fruit sit on the counter for 5 minutes before blending to save your blender motor
