Tips for success

Homemade smoothie recipes are simple to make, but here are several tips for a perfect shake every single time!

• Use a high-powered blender. The easiest way to make a super creamy, well-blended smoothie or protein shake is by using a high-powered blender (think Blendtec, Vitamix, or Ninja) to break down all of the ingredients.
• Use frozen fruit. Using frozen blueberries and bananas in this recipe is best, as it helps keep the smoothie cold and thick. Ice can water down the smoothie flavor and often doesn’t blend as well, so it’s best to skip it unless absolutely necessary.
• To blend, start with the blender on low speed, then gradually increase to high speed. This will help fully blend and incorporate all ingredients really well. End with the blender on low speed.
• Add more liquid. Don’t be afraid to add more milk, if your smoothie is too thick or won’t fully blend — especially if you’re adding more mix-ins.

Customize this recipe

Experiment with ingredients to make your favorite fruit smoothie! Here are some suggestions:

• Sweeten it up. This blueberry smoothie should be perfectly sweet, but if you’d like it sweeter you can add a 1/2 tablespoon of honey, pure maple syrup, a bit of stevia, or a Medjool date.
• Add greens. If you’re looking to get more greens in your diet, try adding a handful or two of baby spinach or kale leaves. It will turn the smoothie a different color, but you won’t be able to taste the greens.
• Different fruit. Feel free to sub the blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, mango, cherries, pineapple, peaches, or any other favorite. Just be sure to use frozen fruit for the best results.
• Add an extra boost of nutrition. Try adding in a serving of protein powder, flax seed, hemp seeds, or oats.
