Tips For Smoothie Making
- Use at least 1 frozen ingredient in your smoothie. Not only does this help to make your smoothie cold but it also helps to make it thick.
- Start with less liquid and add more as you go to find your favourite consistency.
- Start blending on low and increase slowly until your smoothie begins to blend together. This will prevent blender burn out and help you to avoid making overly frothy smoothies (which can tend to feel like you’re drinking air).
- Don’t be afraid to adapt any smoothie recipe to your liking. Smoothies taste better when you add a little creative juice.
- Swap out banana with frozen zucchini, cauliflower or avocado for less sugar.
- If you find that smoothies just don’t fill you up… try adding a source of protein, fibre, or healthy fat.
- If you’re a smoothie lover, invest in a high-speed blender. They are more powerful and will not only save you tons of time… but make the smoothest smoothies ever!
