# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It genuinely tastes like a tropical resort in a glass and takes less time than brewing coffee.
  • Frozen fruit does double duty as both flavor and ice so you never end up with a watery mess.
02 -
  • Always put liquid in before frozen fruit or you will spend ten minutes shaking the blender like a maraca.
  • A frozen banana makes the texture dramatically creamier than a fresh one ever will.
03 -
  • Let frozen fruit sit out for two minutes before blending and your blender motor will last years longer.
  • A tiny pinch of salt sounds weird but it makes the tropical flavors pop in a way nothing else can.
