Smoothie-Making Tips for Success

Before diving into the recipes, here are a few pro tips to ensure your smoothie game is always on point:

  • Use Frozen Fruit: Skip the ice and freeze your own fruit to achieve a creamy, thick texture without watering it down. Lay fruit out on a baking sheet in a single layer before freezing to prevent clumping.

  • Layer Liquids First: Pour your liquids near the blender blades first, making it easier for the blender to process everything smoothly.

  • Prep Ahead: Save time in the morning by prepackaging your smoothie ingredients and storing them in the freezer. Simply toss them in the blender with yogurt and juice, and you’re good to go.
