# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You'll actually drink your greens because the pineapple sweetness completely masks the spinach, making healthy feel like a treat.
  • Four days of ready-to-blend breakfasts sitting in your fridge means mornings become effortless and guilt-free.
  • The tropical flavors feel vacation-like, turning a simple smoothie into something that genuinely makes you happy to wake up for.
02 -
  • Don't add the liquid to the jars before refrigerating—the greens and fruit will release water and get mushy, turning everything into a sad paste by day three.
  • Chia seeds expand as they sit, so don't overthink the consistency when you pack the jars—it'll thicken naturally and actually become perfect by day two or three.
03 -
  • Freeze your blender pitcher or glasses for five minutes before blending if you like your smoothies extra thick and frosty—it makes a real difference without needing to add ice that dilutes the flavor.
  • Chop everything into roughly the same size pieces so they blend evenly and nothing gets left behind in chunks at the bottom of your glass.
