FAQs
How do I make my smoothie thinner/thicker?
For thinner consistency, add more liquids such as water / coconut water.
You can also add milk, but note this will make the smoothie more filling.
For thicker consistency, you can add more ice or yogurt.
Can I store smoothies for later?
Yes you can! Simply put it in the refrigerator and use an airtight container or bottle to store your smoothie.
What fruits can I use for a smoothie?
The best thing about smoothies is they are so versatile to use with any type of fruits you'd like – frozen or fresh. Berries such as raspberries or blueberries are the obvious choice. Mango, banana, pineapple are also worth a try if you're looking for a more tropical-themed beverage.
(Note that banana smoothies are best consumed straight away, because storing them for too long can lead to browning).
Some also like to add greens to their smoothies such as spinach or kale for that nutrition boost. You can also add a dollop of nut butter to your mixture for a variety of taste.
