Five Tips For GREAT Smoothies Everytime!

Before you dive in and check out all the awesome recipes for delicious, healthy smoothies… here are a few tips to help your smoothies recipes turn into a fantastic and healthy experience.

Smoothies Tip #1: Whenever possible, use freshly made juice (using a juicer) for recipes that call for either vegetable and/or fruit juices. You will dramatically increase the healthy benefits fresh juice can deliver and you will notice a boost in overall taste.

Smoothies Tip #2: For fruit ingredients that tend to be very mushy when blending, try freezing them the night before, then adding them to your smoothies recipe the next day. This works particularly well for peeled and sliced bananas.

Smoothies Tip #3: Taking your smoothie on the road? Keep it cold by prechilling your container in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Smoothies Tip #4: Some smoothies recipes may turn out too thick for your liking. Simply add pure ice water to thin.

Smoothies Tip #5: Whenever you see dairy products (ie. milk, yoghurt, etc.) use the low-fat version. Also note, most can be substituted with soy-based products and/or tofu (in some cases). Experiment!

Smoothies Tip #6: Add some liquid vitamins to the mix. Adding liquid vitamins to your smoothies can give your smoothies a huge boost in the healthy department. Not to mention the added bonus that your family won’t even know they are taking their vitamins! Our liquid vitamins are designed for high absorption. They are chelated, already bound to the minerals they need to be, in order to pass through the intestinal wall and used throughout your body.
