The smoothie formula: build any smoothie without a recipe
Our 1 : 1½ : 1 formula on one page: liquid, frozen fruit, greens and a boost, the order to blend them, quick fixes and eight classic combos.
What is on this chart
One formula, no recipe needed. Stick it on the fridge.
Milk, almond or oat milk, coconut water, or half juice, half water
Any mix. Frozen fruit makes it thick and cold, so no ice needed
Baby spinach is the easy one: you won’t taste it
½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp nut butter, 1 tbsp chia, or a scoop of protein
Blend in this order
Blend 30-60 seconds on high. Too short is gritty; too long gets warm and thin.
Quick fixes
| Too thick | Add liquid 2 tbsp at a time |
| Too thin | Add frozen fruit, ice or a frozen banana |
| Bland | Lemon or lime juice, a pinch of salt, or vanilla |
| Gritty greens | Blend greens with the liquid first; remove kale stems |
| Too sour | Add ripe banana, mango or a date |
Classic combos
| Strawberry Banana | frozen strawberries, medium banana, plain Greek yogurt, milk (any kind) |
| Green for Beginners | baby spinach, frozen pineapple chunks, frozen banana, unsweetened almond milk |
| Peanut Butter Banana | frozen banana, peanut butter, rolled oats, milk (any kind) |
| Mixed Berry | frozen mixed berries, medium banana, plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk |
| Mango | frozen mango chunks, plain Greek yogurt, orange juice, milk (any kind) |
