Frozen fruit does all the heavy lifting so you never need ice that waters things down.
It takes literally five minutes from fridge door to first sip on mornings when time disappears.

Frozen fruit is nonnegotiable if you want that thick, milkshake like texture without dealing with ice cubes melting into blandness.
Letting the smoothie sit for more than ten minutes will cause the chia seeds to gel and change the entire drinking experience.
