Important Notes:

  • Ingredient Choices: You can use frozen fruits for a thicker smoothie texture. Substitute fruits based on your preference, such as mango, apple, or pineapple.
  • Adjusting Liquids: Control the consistency by adding more almond milk or yogurt for a thinner smoothie, or reduce liquids for a thicker version.
  • Using Vitamix Blender: The Vitamix blender’s high power easily crushes frozen ingredients. Always add liquids first to prevent clogging.

Chef’s Tip:

For added flavor and texture, top your smoothie with crushed nuts or shredded coconut. For busy mornings, prep ingredients in advance and store them in the fridge to blend fresh in the morning.
