Expert Tips and Tricks
- Use a combo of fresh and frozen fruits. This makes it easier to blend together.
- Freeze fruit when in season. Stock up on fresh pineapple and mango in the summer months and freeze it to use all year round.
- Take a taste before sweetening. Mango and pineapple are naturally pretty sweet so you may or may not need any additional sweetener.
- Load it with greens. Start off with 1 cup of leafy greens and then keep increasing it. You can probably add in 2 cups without much difference in taste.
- Switch up the greens. Try different types of greens. Good options are kale, Swiss chard, or arugula.
- Add a banana. If you'd like to make your smoothie creamier you can add a fresh or frozen banana.
