# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes literally five minutes from cutting board to glass, which means you have zero excuses to skip breakfast.
  • The combination of pineapple and orange tastes like vacation even when you are standing in your kitchen in sweatpants.
02 -
  • If you use frozen pineapple and skip the banana, the smoothie will be thinner and more juice like, which some people actually prefer.
  • Coconut water brands vary wildly in sweetness, so always taste your smoothie before deciding it needs honey or syrup.
03 -
  • Freeze overripe bananas peeled and chopped in a bag so you always have the creaminess booster ready without waiting.
  • Rolling the orange on the counter before peeling releases more juice and makes segmenting much easier.
