Directions
- Use a good quality, high speed blender… that old dunger you’ve got kicking around the back of the cupboard probably won’t cut it with frozen fruit and veg
- For a thicker smoothie add more frozen fruit or ice
- For a thinner texture, add more liquid
- Include veggies into your smoothies. Veggies are lower in calories than fruit, so it’s wise to have a balance between the two. Start with greens like baby spinach, which has a mild taste that blends well with other flavours
- Add in Hemp Hearts or Hemp Protein for an awesome protein and omega boost to your smoothie
- Don’t skimp on protein... it helps to keep you feeling fuller for longer
- Be mindful of ingredients and portion sizes if you're watching your calorie intake
- Don’t overdo the sweeteners
- Don’t fall into a smoothie rut... try out some new combinations!!
