The key to success
When making any smoothie, the most important tip is to use a high-powered blender or food processor. Why? A high-powered blender finely chops the spinach. You want it to be a drink, not a salad. A Nutribullet works great for this.
Freeze your fruit ahead
Cut ripe bananas into halves or thirds (depending on how prominent you want the banana flavor) and freeze them in a large freezer baggie. Buy, clean and freeze your favorite fruit or berries to add to your smoothies.
