Use only frozen fruit

• Use only frozen fruits for the base.
• Do not add ice and do not use regular fresh fruits.

Thaw the fruit

• Let the frozen fruits thaw for 15 minutes before blending.
• This keeps the blender from struggling.

Add just a splash of milk

• Avoid the common mistake of adding too much liquid.
• Add only a splash of milk, nothing more.

Build the base

• Use frozen banana and frozen mango as the main ingredients.
• They give the best thick texture.

Add fruit for color and taste

• Add other frozen or freeze dried fruits for color and taste.
• For example dragon fruit powder or frozen blueberries.

Blend

• Use a blender with at least 1000 watts of power.
• A Vitamix is generally the best, but any cheap blender works too.
• Blend until thick and smooth.
