Smoothies are a delightful treat all year round. Not only do they taste delicious, but they’re packed full of goodness too. They’re one of the best ways to stay healthy, but did you know that there are ways you can make your smoothie experience even better? Here’s how to take your smoothie game to the next level.

Always Use a Base

What is a base? A base is the ingredient in the smoothie that makes it thick and creamy. It helps bind all of the ingredients together and gives it that luxurious texture. Common bases are yogurts, milk, or ice cream. If you’re looking for more plant-based bases, good candidates are banana, coconut milk, or Vegan ice cream.

Add Ingredients in the Right Order

For a perfectly executed smoothie, it’s important that you add the ingredients in the right order. It’s best to start with liquids, then soft fruits and vegetables, leafy greens, dry ingredients, and then icy frozen ingredients. This helps ensure that the smoothie is as smooth and scrumptious as possible.

Add Decoration

Before serving the smoothie, line the glass with slices of fresh fruit. You can get creative with colors and patterns. This way, when you pour the smoothie into the glass, it looks fantastic.
