Tips + tricks for making the best smoothie
- Always remember to use frozen fruit as it helps keep the smoothie cold and thick, just the way we like it!
- Start the blender on low speed, then gradually increase to high to help blend all of the ingredients together. Once well blended, return to low speed.
- Use any milk you’d like in your smoothie – almond, walnut, oat, soy, coconut, or regular milk. This is totally up to you!
