# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The kiwi lime combo creates this unexpected brightness that makes you forget youre eating spinach
  • Its portable breakfast that actually keeps you full until lunch thanks to all that fiber
  • You can prep everything the night before and blend in literally two minutes before running out the door
02 -
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let it sit for five minutes before blending or add your liquid first to create a vortex
  • The lime juice isnt optional, it's what keeps everything bright and prevents that brownish oxidation from happening
  • You can double this recipe and freeze half in ice cube trays for emergency breakfasts on crazy mornings
03 -
  • The secret to restaurant style thickness is using at least one frozen element, usually banana or pineapple, rather than adding ice which waters everything down
  • If your kiwis aren't quite ripe enough, add a tiny drizzle of honey or maple syrup before blending instead of after
  • Work quickly once everything is blended because the spinach color can start to look muddy after about ten minutes
