  • Make liquid a priority. Pour your liquid into the blender before adding solids to blend smoothly.
  • Frozen fruit is key. Specifically, a frozen banana is essential for achieving that creamy texture without ice. Peel the fruit before freezing.
  • Don’t fear brown bananas! The riper the banana, the sweeter the smoothie.
  • Get super fruity. Add more fruits like mango, pineapple, or berries for a delicious fruity smoothie. 
  • Kick up the protein. Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make this smoothie a filling meal.
  • Give it a nutrient boost. Add collagen powder, ground flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, or nut butter for extra health benefits.
  • Mix up the milk. If whole milk isn’t your thing, any kind will do.
  • Go vegan! Make a vegan smoothie by swapping coconut milk and vegan yogurt for the milk and Greek yogurt.
