# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes less than five minutes from fridge to glass, which means you have zero excuse to skip breakfast ever again.
  • The tropical combination of sweet strawberries and tangy pineapple tastes like vacation in a cup, even on a rainy Tuesday.
02 -
  • Using all fresh fruit without freezing any of it will give you a thinner, more juice like smoothie, so either freeze your fruit beforehand or toss in a handful of ice cubes.
  • If you use almond milk, this recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free, but double check your labels if allergies are a serious concern.
03 -
  • Freeze overripe strawberries and pineapple in a single layer on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a bag, so you always have perfect smoothie fruit ready to go without clumping.
  • Blend the liquid and greens or seeds first before adding the fruit if you are adding chia or flax, because it prevents gritty bits from settling at the bottom.
