General Smoothie Tips:

• Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit (especially bananas and berries) will make your smoothie thicker and colder, reducing the need for ice.
• Adjust Consistency: Start with less liquid and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency.
• Sweetness: Taste your smoothie before adding sweeteners. The ripeness of the fruit can vary.
• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, or flax seeds for extra nutrition.
