# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its ridiculously simple but tastes like something youd wait in line for at a theme park
  • The frozen banana creates this incredibly smooth texture without any dairy
02 -
  • Do not skip freezing the banana first, I tried using a fresh one once and the texture was completely off
  • You really do need a decent blender here, cheap ones will struggle with the frozen fruit
03 -
  • Let your blender run a little longer than you think necessary, the smoothness comes from patience
  • If it is too thick, add just a tiny splash more pineapple juice, not water
