Adjust Consistency Like a Pro: Too thick? Add liquid graduallyone tablespoon at a time. Too thin? Add more frozen fruita handful of ice cubesor a spoonful of greek yogurt. The perfect smoothie should coat a spoon but still pour easily – think milkshake consistencynot soup!

I feel like I’ve become a pro at making smoothiesbut they’re just so dang easy that anyone can blend one up in no time!
The best smoothie recipes combine sweet elements (bananadatesmaple syrup) with tart components (berriescitrusplain greek yogurt). This creates a depth of flavors and prevents overly sweet mixtures.
I pick and buy fresh fruit when it’s in season and at peak ripeness to freeze for smoothies. Fruit that is perfectly ripe is the best for easy blending (and tastes the besttoo).
Slice bananas before freezingand spread berries on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to bags. This prevents clumping and ensures perfect portions every time.
