# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- Frozen fruit means you can taste the tropics in the middle of January without spending a dime on airfare.
- It comes together faster than your coffee maker finishes a cycle, which makes it the ultimate busy morning rescue.
02 -
- Blending too long with fresh fruit and lots of ice can actually warm the smoothie slightly, so work quickly and serve immediately.
- If your mango is not fully ripe, the smoothie will taste flat no matter how much honey you add, so wait for that gentle give when you press the skin.
03 -
- Roll the mango on the counter while pressing gently before you cut it to loosen the flesh from the pit and get more fruit with less waste.
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring and the smoothie stays cold twice as long.
