# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you can scroll through your phone, yet tastes like you planned something intentional.
  • The frozen banana creates this creamy texture without any dairy, so it feels indulgent but genuinely good for you.
  • You can drink it and actually taste the mint and lemon instead of that bitter grass flavor that makes you grimace.
02 -
  • Blend the greens with liquid first before adding fruit, or they'll hide at the bottom and you'll end up with chunks—I learned this the clumsy way.
  • A frozen banana that's actually frozen makes the difference between a smoothie and flavored water, so don't skip that step or use a fresh one.
03 -
  • Drink it through a straw if you're taking it to-go, because the chia seeds settle to the bottom and stir up texture that way.
  • Keep spinach and romaine washed and ready to go in containers, so you're never more than a few steps away from making this when you need it.
