How to make smoothies
Making a smoothie is nothing difficult. Everybody can do it even if you don’t have any cooking skill. This is because it is as simple as tossing ingredients into a blender and blending it, but we want to make sure you get it right the first time, so this is our exact steps to make some nutritious smoothies.
- Fill your blender halfway with liquid. You can use unsweetened milk, or any other milk, fruit juice, or even water that you prefer.
- Any fiber foods can be included. This is the moment to add spinach, kale, mint leaves, or other greens if you’re using them.
- Now is the time to combine your frozen fruits and veggies in a large mixing bowl. For smoothies, it is great to add some frozen fruits. These can be frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, frozen watermelon, or whatever frozen fruit you have.
- You can use any fresh fruits or vegetables you like. Here’s where you’ll toss in some fresh strawberries or freshly chopped mangoes.
- Add your favorite nutrition add-ins to finish it off. Add protein powder, chia seeds, collagen, turmeric, or whatever else you choose to increase the smoothie’s nutrients.
- Blend it up! Start your blender on low and gradually increase the speed to full. This ensures that everything is thoroughly blended and that the blades do not become stuck. Blend until it is silky smooth, then pour and enjoy.
