Advice: Always peel, stalk or remove seeds from fruit. If you are using large fruits, be sure to chop them up before you put them in the blender.

Add a little more dairy if you like a thick smoothie. Instead of adding milk to thin your smoothie, add a large teaspoon of Greek or frozen yogurt. Greek yogurt will add protein and thicken smoothies, while frozen yogurt will give you a richer, thicker smoothie.

Try yoghurt with different flavors. You can incorporate a variety of fruity flavors or enhance the inherent flavor. For example, make a peach smoothie with peach-flavored Greek yogurt or try a peanut butter smoothie with frozen chocolate yogurt.

Add butter from nuts, oats or nuts to create a filling smoothie. If you want a smoothie with more protein, add 1-2 tablespoons of butter from nuts, rolled oats or tofu. You can also give a special texture to a smoothie by adding a handful of seeds or seeds, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds or sunflower seeds.

After the smoothie is blended, you can still give the drink a more unique texture. Try stirring in a handful of dried fruit, a few teaspoons of dried coconut fiber, a teaspoon of chocolate seeds, or a handful of crushed crackers.

Add a teaspoon of protein powder or any other supplement you like. If you want extra protein, but don't want a smoothie that tastes like peanut butter, try adding 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of protein powder. The powder will dissolve quickly in the smoothie. This is also a great opportunity to use the nutritional powders you are eating.

Try adding collagen foods to a breakfast smoothie.

Add sweeteners according to taste. You can use your favorite sweetener to flavor a smoothie. If you don't want to use regular sugar, try adding some soft dates or dried figs, plums or apricots. You can also add honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup to your smoothie.

If you don't know how much sweetener to add, just grind it and taste it. That way, you'll know how much more sweetness you need to add.

Add about 1 cup (220 grams) of ice. If you prefer a thick smoothie, you need to add at least 1 cup (220 grams) of ice first and add more if needed. If you prefer to use frozen fruit, you may not need to add ice because frozen fruit is just like ice. Note, if you don't blend ice with fresh fruit, your finished product will look like juice.

You can freeze smoothie ingredients for a thicker finish. For example, instead of fresh berries, try frozen berries and pour them directly into a blender.

Cover the blender and grind ingredients for about 1 minute. Continue blending until all the ingredients blend together and have the texture you want. Finally pour the smoothie into a cup and enjoy!

To store leftover smoothies, pour them into a sealed container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 8 months. Note that smoothies will start to melt in the refrigerator and you will need to blend them with more ice before serving. To drink a frozen smoothie, put it in a blender and blend it until it's smooth.

Advice: If you like, you can decorate the smoothie with a piece of fresh fruit used to make the smoothie. For example, attach a slice of orange to the top of the cup if you're making an orange smoothie.

Advice

Drink the smoothie right after grinding. Most smoothies will begin to layer if they are refrigerated after they are ground.
If you have diabetes or need to abstain from sugar, avoid adding sweeteners, such as honey. Note, fruit will turn into sugar after being loaded into the body.
