- When making smoothies, always start by adding liquid ingredients to the blender. This way, you’ll avoid dry ingredients from blocking the bottom of the blender bowl and will ease up the blending process.
- Use frozen strawberries and/or bananas for a cool and refreshing summer smoothie.
- To make the smoothie even sweeter, add some extra banana or sweetener (syrup, monk fruit sweetener, sugar, or another), depending on your taste and dietary choices.
- Use regular milk instead of almond milk (if there are no dietary restrictions).
