The great thing about a smoothie is that you can put just about anything into it. That includes nuts, beans, coffee, kale . . . you name it! Building a great smoothie that blends together with ease requires a little bit of strategy. Here is how we get the smoothest of smoothies along with our basic framework for creating your own drink.
Preparation Method
Place the liquid in the blender first, which will keep things moving at the bottom. Add soft fruits and vegetables, followed by hard vegetables and frozen fruit or ice.
Top with the protein, sweetener, and intensifier (if using).
Use the tamper as needed to stir the mixture or add a little more liquid and blend longer.
