# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in just 5 minutes — no cooking, no fuss, just blend and enjoy.
  • Naturally sweet and tropical — ripe banana and juicy pineapple deliver sweetness without any need for added sugar.
  • Packed with goodness — fresh baby spinach adds vitamins and minerals while remaining virtually tasteless in the blend.
  • Easily customizable — use dairy milk, oat milk, coconut water, or almond milk depending on your preference.
  • Diet-friendly — vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free when made with plant-based milk.
  • Perfect for all ages — a sneaky and delicious way to get greens into kids and adults alike.
02 -
  • Use a frozen banana for a thicker, creamier texture without needing as much ice.
  • Freeze pineapple in advance — pre-portioned frozen pineapple chunks make blending faster and the smoothie colder.
  • Add spinach gradually if your blender is less powerful, to ensure a completely smooth result with no leafy chunks.
  • Boost the protein by stirring in a scoop of vanilla protein powder before blending.
  • Add a citrus kick with a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice to brighten all the flavors.
  • Garnish thoughtfully — a pineapple wedge or a few fresh mint leaves on the rim makes a beautiful and inviting presentation.
  • Check your labels — if you have nut allergies, opt for oat milk or coconut water instead of almond milk.
