# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and creamy like a dessert, but your body actually feels energized afterward.
  • There's zero guilt because you're basically drinking vegetables disguised as something delicious.
02 -
  • If your spinach is wilted or slimy, the whole smoothie will taste off no matter what else you add—fresh spinach makes all the difference.
  • Don't let the blended smoothie sit in the fridge more than a few hours or it will separate and the color will dull; drink it right away for the best experience.
03 -
  • Blend liquids and soft ingredients first, then add the spinach at the very end so it actually blends into the smoothie rather than staying chunky.
  • If you make this regularly, prep spinach and avocado the night before so mornings feel even easier.
