01 -

The spinach completely disappears behind sweet fruit, making leafy greens feel like a treat instead of a chore
This smoothie keeps me energized through afternoon slumps without that heavy post meal feeling

02 -

Baby spinach matters. Mature spinach leaves can make your smoothie taste earthy and unpleasant
Frozen fruit eliminates the need for as much ice, which prevents watering down the flavor
Blending spinach with liquid first, before adding other ingredients, ensures no leafy chunks remain

03 -

Let frozen fruit thaw for 5 minutes before blending to protect your blender motor
Invest in a high-speed blender if you make smoothies regularly. The texture difference is remarkable
