Expert Tips
- Fruit – While using frozen fruits helps create a thicker, creamier smoothie, you can use fresh fruits if you prefer. However, you may need to add ice cubes to the blender to achieve a similar texture and temperature.
- Blending Ingredients – Start blending on slow on a high speed blender. Then as the ingredients start to blend increase speed. This helps to prevent the blender from locking up. Check out these 6 Best Blenders Under $100 of 2024 if you are needing a new one.
- Ice – There is no need to add ice to this smoothie. The frozen fruit will keep the smoothie cold with a creamy texture.
