Recipe FAQs

What if I don’t have the right ingredients to make one of these smoothies?

There is NO right or wrong way to make a smoothie! These recipes are just starter ideas for you to work off of. My biggest tip is that if you’re using fresh fruit, throw in a little ice to thicken them and make them colder.

What blender should I use to make smoothies?

A good blender is worth it because it can whip up a thick and delicious smoothie in about 45 seconds. I use a Blendtec, but others swear by their Vitamix blenders. Both are some of the best blenders on the market and are worth it if you have a family of smoothie lovers.

What milk should I use in smoothies?

This is totally up to you! I have used and loved all kinds of milk for smoothies, including ordinary cows’ milk, raw cows’ milk, and lots of nut and plant milk, like unsweetened rice, almond milk, coconut milk, and cashew milk.

Should I add sweeteners to these smoothies?

I don’t add sweeteners besides fruit to my smoothies, but sometimes, my kids want them to be sweeter. Honey, maple syrup, fruit juice, sweetened milk, or sweetened yogurt can all add a little sweetness.

What if I don’t like bananas?

You can replace the banana with some plain Greek yogurt + a little sweetener + ice OR add half an avocado + a little sweetener + ice. Both combinations replace a ripe banana nicely in a smoothie and still give you a rich, creamy texture.

Expert Tips

Layer Ingredients Properly– Add liquid first, then soft ingredients, and finish with frozen items on top for easier blending and better consistency.
Add Healthy Boosters– Incorporate Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder for extra protein, or include leafy greens like spinach for added nutrients and vitamins without altering the fruit flavor.
Frozen Fruit:When fruit is in season or on sale, stock your freezer to make your smoothies more affordable. Here’show to freeze bananasandhow to freeze apricots.
Make-ahead Smoothies:Save time by prepping your smoothies ahead of time by making somefrozen smoothie packs. These can even be stored in mason jars so the final blending can be done inside the jar with an immersion blender.
