Helpful Tips

Freezing your fruit to use in smoothies is a great way to avoid having to add ice (which would water down the taste).

If the smoothie doesn’t taste quite right to you, feel free to play around with the proportions and to add your own flair!

If the blender is having a difficult time chopping up all of the ingredients, add more liquid and try again. Sometimes, if the ingredients are too dry, the blender will not be able to properly pulverize and blend them.
