"Through trial and error, I've learned a few tips for making smoothies. First, start by adding liquid to your blender first: this prevents the blades from jamming on frozen fruit. I've learned this the hard way many times! For the creamiest texture, I like to use Greek yogurt because it adds a nice body as well as protein to keep you full. If you want a vegan smoothie, banana is best for achieving the creamy base."
"It's healthy, easy to blend up, and has the best creamy texture and fruity flavor. 2 cups frozen strawberries OR any frozen fruit: mango, pineapple, blueberries, etc. 1 banana (room temperature) ¼ cup Greek yogurt* 1 cup milk (or almond milk or oat milk) 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup Place all ingredients in a blender, breaking the banana into pieces. Blend until creamy and frothy, stopping and scraping down the sides as necessary. Serve immediately or store in a covered jar in the refrigerator for 2 days."
Frozen fruit smoothies pair two cups of frozen fruit with a room-temperature banana, Greek yogurt, milk, and a sweetener for a creamy, balanced drink. Add liquid to the blender before frozen fruit to prevent blade jamming. Greek yogurt provides creaminess and protein; banana provides creaminess for vegan versions. Optional additions like chia seeds or ground flaxseed add omega-3s and fiber. Energy-focused smoothies can include extra protein and nutrients. Blend until creamy and frothy, scrape down sides as needed, and serve immediately or refrigerate up to two days.
