The Best Way to make smoothies
Making amazing smoothies is super easy! Here's your step-by-step guide to smoothie success:
- Start with a good blender - you don't need anything fancy, but it should be powerful enough to crush ice.
- Fill your blender in this order:
- Liquids first (milk, juice, or water)
- Soft fruits
- Leafy greens (if using)
- Frozen fruits or ice
- Use frozen fruit instead of ice for thicker, more flavorful smoothies.
- Don't overfill! Leave some space at the top.
- Start blending on low, then increase to high speed.
Pro Tips:
- Freeze overripe bananas for later use
- Add protein powder or yogurt for extra nutrition
- Use honey or dates to sweeten naturally
