Instructions
- Prep: For a frosty cold smoothie, make sure at least one ingredient is frozen beforehand (either the fruit or the banana).
- Assemble: Add all ingredients to your blender. Be sure to add frozen fruit last to go easy on your blender blades.
- Blend: Turn the blender on low speed, the gradually increase speed to high. Continue blending for 30 to 60 seconds, or until completely smooth. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To make smoothies in advance, place all ingredients except the liquid into a freezer-safe baggie or container. Store in the freezer. When ready to make your smoothie, empty the contents into a blender, add the liquid, and blend until smooth.
- Smoothie Extras (optional for boosting flavor or nutrition)
- Do you put milk or water in a smoothie? You can put either milk, water, or juice in a smoothie, depending on what flavor you're making.
- What is the best base for a smoothie? Bananas are a great base for a smoothie because they're naturally sweet and creamy!
- What can you use instead of bananas in a smoothie? Bananas can be replaced by any frozen fruit. For a creamy replacement, use coconut milk or even avocado in your smoothie!
- 1 to 2 cups leafy greens (spinach, kale, chard, romaine)
