The beauty of the smoothie is that it is a type of recipe that can include an infinite number of ingredients, so you can customize it to your liking. Of course, there are a couple of rules to make it turn out well, and that’s why today we tell you how to make the perfect smoothie.
Plan Ahead
The whole point of a smoothie is that in addition to being delicious and healthy, it’s super easy to make. Buy fruits and vegetables in advance for your smoothies for the week. Go to the market and check what seasonal ingredients are available and bring them home, even if you don’t know how you’re going to use them. You’ll see that having them on hand and with a little imagination, excellent recipes will arise.
The Ingredients
As we said, a smoothie can have whatever you want, but to achieve that silky, semi-thick blend, you need to take the following into consideration:
1) Liquid
It is extremely necessary for everything to blend in the blender, start by using one cup and add more if you want it to be less thick.
Water
Milk
Coconut water
Almond milk
Fruit juice
Green tea
2) Fruit or Vegetable
This is where you will get most of your vitamins and energizers, as well as the color of your smoothie. Add at least one and a half cups of these ingredients.
Banana
Apple
Mango
Peach
Carrot
Beetroot
Cucumber
etc.
3) Thickener
To achieve a more sumptuous texture, use creamy ingredients to give body and consistency. Half a cup is enough.
Banana
Yogurt
Tofu
Peanut butter
4) Sweetness
Stay away from regular sugar and go for healthy ingredients that add not only sweetness but also flavor and color. To taste.
Vanilla extract
Honey
Agave syrup
