01 -

It takes exactly five minutes from fridge to glass which means no excuses on busy mornings.
The tropical combo of pineapple and mango somehow tricks your brain into thinking you are on vacation even when it is raining outside.

02 -

Frozen fruit is the real secret here because it creates that milkshake like thickness without melting ice diluting the flavor.
If you use fresh fruit and still want thickness add a handful of ice cubes but expect a slightly milder taste.

03 -

Freeze your overripe bananas peeled and chopped in a bag so you always have smoothie ready bananas on hand.
Cut your mango and pineapple into small chunks before freezing so your blender does not struggle with giant frozen blocks.
