# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The tropical sweetness from kiwi and pineapple perfectly balances the spinach, so you are eating your greens without that grassy taste
- It comes together in under ten minutes but looks and feels like something from a fancy breakfast spot
- Customize the toppings however you want, and suddenly you have a completely different bowl every day
02 -
- If your smoothie separates or looks watery after sitting, your blender might not be powerful enough to fully break down the spinach fibers
- Frozen fruit changes the game completely and gives you that thick, almost ice cream-like texture without watering down the flavors
03 -
- Wash your spinach thoroughly even if it says pre-washed, since gritty smoothie bowls are extremely disappointing
- Pour and smooth your smoothie base before adding toppings, because once you start arranging fruit and granola, you cannot adjust the foundation
