# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The frozen fruit creates the most incredibly thick ice cream like texture that holds up all your toppings
  • You can customize the toppings based on whatever fruit looks best at the market that week
02 -
  • A regular blender might struggle with the frozen fruit so pause and shake or scrape down the sides frequently
  • If your smoothie base is too thin it will not hold up the toppings properly—err on the side of less liquid
03 -
  • Start with less liquid than you think you need—it is easier to add more than to fix a too thin smoothie
  • Warm your frozen fruit for about five minutes before blending if your blender struggles with hard chunks
