# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The apple and banana completely hide any grassy spinach taste
  • It comes together in literally five minutes with zero cooking
  • You'll feel like you just did something healthy for yourself without actually trying
02 -
  • A frozen banana transforms the texture into something almost soft-serve like
  • Letting it sit too long makes it separate, so drink it right away
03 -
  • If the green color freaks you out, add a handful of frozen berries—it'll turn purple and taste just as good
  • Pouring it over frozen berries instead of ice cubes keeps it cold without watering it down
