# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The pineapple sweetness completely masks the spinach, so you're sneaking in greens without any earthy funk.
  • It takes five minutes flat, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning instead of reaching for whatever's in the drive-thru.
02 -
  • Frozen banana makes an enormous difference in texture—fresh banana can leave you with something that feels too thin, while frozen creates that creamy, almost soft-serve quality everyone wants.
  • The spinach will only disappear if your blender actually has power; if you're using a weak or old blender, you might need to halve the spinach amount or blend longer.
03 -
  • If your blender struggles, add the liquid first and let the spinach soften for a few seconds before cranking it to high speed.
  • Make it the night before in a mason jar if mornings are chaos, though you'll want to shake it well before drinking since separation is real.
