Smoothie Tips
When I make my any smoothie I like to use mostly frozen fruit. That way it will be thick and I won’t have to water it down with water or a milk subsitute.
If you are adding a liquid start with the minimum amount at first. That way you can get the exact consistency you want.
Protein powders and collagen powders are a great way to get extra protein in your smoothies.
