How to Blend the Perfect Smoothie
- Start with the liquids – Adding a splash of water, coconut water, or plant-based milk helps the blender move smoothly.
- Add the softer ingredients – Bananas and beets should go in before harder frozen fruits.
- Drop in the frozen fruit and seeds last – This ensures an even blend without overworking your blender.
- Blend until smooth – If needed, add more liquid in small amounts until you reach your desired consistency. Start with a low speed and slowly go up, this will give you a very creamy and smooth smoothie.
Ingredient Variations & Swaps
- Swap pitaya for strawberries or raspberries – If you don’t have frozen pitaya on hand, frozen berries work just as well.
- Use chia or flaxseeds instead of hemp seeds – All three add fiber and plant-based protein.
- Add plant-based protein powder – A scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein works well if you want an extra protein boost.
- Make it creamier – Blend with coconut milk or almond milk for a richer texture.
