Notes
- To get a super smooth smoothie, blend the liquid and greens first and then add the fruit and continue blending.
- Using frozen fruit means that you can make this green smoothie all year round and use fruits that might not be in season.
- Try to make the smoothie from fresh. However if you want to prep it in advance, then you can put everything except the liquid in a freezer bag and freeze until you need it.
- The general rule of making a green smoothie is 1 cup greens, 1 cup liquid and 2 cups of fruit.
- Don't use ice cubes to keep the smoothie cold, as it will dilute it. Use frozen fruit instead to keep it cool.
- To make this smoothie creamier and add some extra flavor, swap 50ml/0.25 cup of the milk for coconut milk. This will really help to thicken the smoothie too. You could also add Greek yogurt.
