]]>Breakfast Super Shake
Grab some full-fat milk, yogurt, blueberries, goji berries, and a banana, and place them in a blender. Then, mix the ingredients until smooth. If you’re in the mood to experiment with different flavors, consider adding some cinnamon or honey to the mix.
Avocado Smoothie
In addition to the core ingredient of avocado, this delightful green smoothie requires bananas, frozen mango, and coconut milk. Depending on the flavor you wish to achieve, consider adding vanilla protein powder or spinach as well.
Vanilla Protein Smoothie
If you enjoy creamy vanilla milkshakes, then this healthy alternative is right up your alley. Place vanilla, milk, banana, greek yogurt, coconut oil, and pineapple in your blender and mix well.

]]>Water
Smoothies made with water are your safest bet, and they’ll be as healthy as it gets because this ingredient is calorie-free. Unfortunately, this is water’s only upside and most people avoid using it as their liquid base or combine it with other liquids because it doesn’t add flavor to your smoothies.
Milk
Milk is the most popular liquid base for smoothies because it can make them perfectly creamy and delicious. Unfortunately, dairy milk will also add extra calories and fat to your smoothies, and that’s why many people prefer replacing it with plant-based alternatives.
Juice
You may be tempted to add some juice to your smoothies to boost their flavor, but you should avoid this liquid base at all costs. Freshly squeezed juice is the only healthy option, while store-bought juices are best avoided because they’re usually packed with sugar and artificial flavorings.

]]>Blending Nuts
You might struggle to blend raw nuts with a classic blender. If your blender isn’t powerful enough, raw nuts might damage the blades so it’s important to soak or skin them before blending them. Also, keep in mind you’ll have to pulse several times before the nuts are fully chopped.
Extra Fat
Adding carbs and protein to your smoothies is easy, but fat is a different story. By adding nuts to the mix, you’re making sure your smoothies contain enough fat to keep you full for long, but don’t go overboard because nuts are also packed with tons of calories.
Nut Substitutes
If you don’t have a powerful blender and soaking your nuts feels like too much trouble, you can replace them with several substitutes. Nut butters are always a great idea, but be careful before buying them and make sure they don’t contain added oils, sodium, and sugar when checking their label.

]]>Make It Creamy
You’ll need to have the perfect balance between liquid and solid ingredients to make your smoothies perfectly creamy. Ice cream and yogurt can get the job done, but you should avoid them at all costs. Opt for avocados instead, but use them in moderation due to their high-fat content.
Make It Sweet
Fruits will do a great job adding their natural sweetness to smoothies, but what if it’s too much or not enough? Lemon juice can be used to make your smoothies less sweet. When it comes to adding sweetness, avoid sugar and opt for natural sweeteners, but don’t go overboard.
Make It Thick
Smoothies that are too thick can be easily fixed with the addition of more liquids. On the other hand, if your smoothies lack thickness, don’t pour too much water or milk into the blender, and try to use frozen fruits whenever possible.

]]>Honey
If honey happens to be your go-to smoothie sweetener, keep in mind it has extremely high-calorie content, and try not to add more than a tablespoon per smoothie.
Avocados
Avocados can turn your smoothies into a creamy delight, but the tricky thing about them is their fat-rich nature. That’s why you should always stick to a quarter of an avocado per smoothie.
Greek Yogurt
Non-fat Greek yogurt is packed with protein, probiotics, and other nutrients. That’s what makes it a great smoothie ingredient, but it’s recommended to avoid using more than half a cup per serving.
Nut Butters
Nut butters are easier to blend than whole nuts, but if you’re using more than one or two tablespoons per serving, your smoothie won’t be as healthy as you want it to be.
Sweetened Milk
Using sweetened milk in your smoothie is completely unnecessary because fruits are naturally sweet, so always try to go with water or unsweetened varieties instead.

There are some ingredients that many people add to their smoothies despite the fact they don’t really belong there. Added sweeteners, flavored yogurt, canned fruits, and juice may make your smoothie more tasty, but they often have an extremely high sugar and calorie content.

Side Snack
Unless your smoothies are extremely light, they contain enough calories to replace an entire meal, so it’s not such a great idea to drink them as a “side snack” after your breakfast or lunch.

Moderation is important when it comes to making a perfect smoothie, so don’t go overboard by adding to much fruit or protein powders. The only thing you can’t overdo is blending, since most of us don’t do it as long as we should.
