A few smoothie tips from my own kitchen
After years of making smoothies every single morning, here's what I've learned:
  1. ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜. I personally like mine on the thinner side so they're easy to drink, more like a juice than a thick shake. If a recipe calls for one cup of liquid, just add more water until it feels right for you. There are no rules here.
  1. ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜†. My real everyday smoothie is honestly just a big handful of greens, water, ground flaxseed, and whatever fruit I have around, usually berries. Sometimes I add protein powder. That's it. The reason I gave you several different recipes this week is to get a variety of nutrients into your body, but on a normal Tuesday I'm not making anything fancy and that's completely fine.
  1. ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ. This is the one that makes the biggest difference. If you blend your smoothie the night before and put it in the fridge, you're not scrambling in the morning. It takes the friction away completely. Just shake or stir it in the morning and you're good to go.
  1. ๐——๐—ผ๐—ป'๐˜ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ. I actually prefer my smoothies at room temperature, and if you make yours the night before, here's a trick: add some hot water in the morning to bring it back up to room temp. This also helps with the thickness because smoothies do thicken up quite a bit overnight in the fridge, so you'll want to add some water anyway.
Let us know if you have any tips that work for you! Keep going. You're doing great!
