Tips for the Perfect Smoothie
- To make your smoothie extra thick, freeze the banana before blending. If you don’t have a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, slice the banana before freezing so it’ll be easier to blend.
- If you have trouble blending your smoothie, add an extra splash of almond milk to get things moving. Add a little bit at a time until it begins to blend. Adding too much liquid will water down the smoothie.

How to Make a Super Thick Smoothie
There are a few tricks to making super-thick, spoonable smoothies. First, use the minimum amount of liquid possible to blend your smoothie. Secondly, make sure you’re using frozen fruit.

If you don’t have a powerful blender like a Vitamix, cut the fruit into small pieces and freeze. This makes them easier to blend once frozen. For more tips, check out my guide to super thick smoothies.
