Copycat Smoothie Recipes

How to make a smoothie!

If you want to make your own smoothie recipe but are unsure where to start, here are a few quick tips and tricks!

Add your liquid first! Everything will blend more smoothly if you put your liquid at the bottom. I use 1 cup of liquid if the smoothie is for one person, 2 cups for two servings, etc.
Next add in your thickener. This would be things like frozen fruit, bananas or ice.
Everything else goes in last, think oatmeal, protein powder, spinach leaves and sweeteners.
The great thing about smoothies is that they are super easy to fix if you "mess up." If your smoothie tastes too tart, add in some yogurt or honey and blend again until you achieve the taste and consistency you are looking for!

Well what did you think? Will you try one of these simple smoothie recipes? If you do try one we would love it if you would leave a comment and let us know if you liked it!
