Notes

Cooking Tips

  • Use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, creamy texture without needing ice.
  • Freeze pre-portioned fruit in advance for quick smoothies anytime.
  • Always add liquid first for the smoothest blend and motor safety.
  • Spinach is mild-tasting and blends best when added before frozen items.
  • Taste before adding extra sweetener—banana and pineapple often provide enough.
