Build-a-smoothie

Choose what you have on hand. We’ll do the ratios so it comes out thick, smooth and not too sweet.

Your smoothie

Strawberry banana

    1. Pour the liquid in first, then add greens and soft ingredients.
    2. Add the frozen fruit last, on top.
    3. Blend on low for 10 seconds, then high for 30-60 seconds until smooth. Too thick? Add liquid a splash at a time.

    Makes one large glass (about 16-20 oz). Nutrition from typical USDA values.

    Choose what you have. The builder uses a simple ratio (1 cup liquid, 1½ cups frozen fruit, a handful of greens, one boost) so it comes out thick and smooth every time.

    The smoothie formula

    1. Liquid (1 cup): milk, plant milk, coconut water or juice.
    2. Frozen fruit (1½ cups): frozen fruit means no ice and no watery smoothie.
    3. Greens (1-2 cups, optional): spinach is mild; kale is stronger.
    4. Creamy (optional): Greek yogurt, avocado, oats or frozen cauliflower.
    5. Boost (optional): protein powder, nut butter or seeds.
