Step 1:

Choose Your Base

All great smoothies begin with a base, setting the texture and flavor.

Milk

Choose milk for creaminess and a bit of natural sweetness. Options include dairy, almond, soy, and oat.

Fruit Juice

If you prefer extra fruitiness! Orange or pineapple juice brightens up tropical smoothies, while apple juice adds subtle sweetness and pairs well with greens.

Coconut Water

Need extra hydration? Coconut water is light, refreshing, and adds a hint of tropical flavor without overpowering your other ingredients.

Yogurt

Yogurt is perfect if you want to make a bowl OR love thick, creamy smoothies with a slight tang. Greek yogurt also adds extra protein.

Step 2:

Pick Fruit

Let's add flavor and nutrition with your favorite fruits.

Berries

Berries are loaded with antioxidants and add a beautiful color to your smoothie. They blend well with almost any base and offer a sweet-tart flavor.

Banana

Bananas give your smoothie a creamy texture and natural sweetness. They're a great base fruit and can mask the taste of leafy greens if you're adding those in.

Mango & Pineapple

For a tropical vibe, mango and pineapple bring juicy sweetness and bright flavors. They pair perfectly with coconut water or orange juice.

Apple & Pear

Apples and pears add a crisp, refreshing sweetness and extra fiber. They work well with greens and citrus for a clean, refreshing taste.

Step 3:

Add a Thickener

Make your smoothie rich and satisfying.

Greek Yogurt

A go-to for a creamy texture and a protein boost, Greek yogurt also adds a slight tang that pairs well with both sweet and tropical flavors.

Nut Butter

A spoonful of nut butter makes your smoothie extra creamy while adding healthy fats and a bit of protein. Great with banana, berries, or chocolate!

Oats

Rolled oats add thickness and fiber, giving your smoothie a heartier feel. They’re mild in flavor, making them ideal for fruity and green smoothies alike.

Chia Seeds

These tiny seeds thicken your smoothie naturally as they absorb liquid, adding fiber and omega-3s. Let them sit in the base for a minute to maximize their thickening effect.

Step 4:

Boost the Nutrition

Take your smoothie to the next level with nutrient-packed add-ins.

Spinach

Greens are a classic smoothie boost, adding vitamins and minerals without a strong taste.

Protein Powder

For a more filling smoothie, protein powder is perfect and easy.

Flax or Chia Seeds

They are rich in fiber and omega-3s, supporting heart and digestive health. Sprinkle in a tablespoon for added thickness and nutrition.
