Questions people ask
Can you taste the spinach in a green smoothie?
Barely. Spinach is mild, and blended with banana, pineapple or mango it mostly adds colour. Kale has a stronger, more bitter flavour, so start with a small handful and add lime or apple to brighten it.
How do I make a smoothie thicker?
Use fruit straight from the freezer instead of ice, add a spoonful of oats, chia seeds or thick yoghurt, and pour in less liquid. A ripe banana, peeled and sliced before it goes in the freezer, makes any smoothie creamy.
What is a good basic smoothie ratio?
Roughly one part liquid to two parts fruit, such as a cup of milk or juice to two cups of fruit, plus a spoonful of yoghurt or nut butter if you like. Pour the liquid in first so the blades turn freely.
What smoothies do kids like best?
Sweet, familiar flavours usually win: strawberry and banana, mango, mixed berry and chocolate banana made with cocoa. Letting children choose from For kids and press the blender button helps. Ask about nut allergies before blending in peanut butter for visitors.
