Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Gather all ingredients and measure them accurately. For frozen fruit, allow it to thaw for a few minutes for smoother blending.
Step 2: Blend Smoothie
In a high-speed blender, combine the liquid base (juice, milk, or water) with fruits, vegetables, and any optional sweeteners or add-ins.
Step 3: Adjust Consistency
Blend on high speed until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of liquid and blend again. For a thicker texture, add a few ice cubes.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
Pour into a glass, garnish with fresh fruit or a sprig of mint, and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt.
- Customize sweetness with honey, agave syrup, or dates, or leave it out for a naturally sweet smoothie.
- Freeze extra smoothie in ice cube trays for a quick base for future blends.
