# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The frozen fruit creates an incredibly thick, ice cream like texture that feels indulgent
- You can customize the toppings to match whatever is in your pantry or your mood
- It comes together in under ten minutes but looks like something from a fancy café
02 -
- The trick is using frozen fruit rather than ice to keep it thick without diluting the flavor
- If your blender struggles, add the liquid first and let it sit for a minute to soften the spinach slightly
- The mixture should be thick enough to hold up your toppings without them sinking immediately
03 -
- Use a tamper if your blender has one to help everything blend without adding too much liquid
- Taste before pouring and adjust sweetness since frozen fruit can vary
