Directions for All Smoothies:
Thoroughly blend all ingredients together, adding ice cubes or cold water, or unfiltered apple juice until the smoothie reaches desired consistency. Don't be shy to make and create your own! My kids know every time we make a fruit smoothie, it is "The best fruit smoothie I have ever made!".

Tips for Delicious Smoothies:

  • Using frozen fruit eliminates need for more ice and water and makes a thicker smoothie
  • Try creating your own.  Mangos or peaches add a nice flavor, and pineapple adds sweetness
  • Slice and freeze your extra ripe bananas to use for making fruit smoothies
  • Adding a handful of fresh spinach to your smoothies increases your antioxidant intake, nutrition and just makes you feel like you are doing something good for yourself
  • Adding a 6 oz container of Chobani yogurt has been a crowd pleaser.  It adds protein without protein powder and a nice creamy texture  Depending on the fruit ingredients, we have used blueberry the most, then strawberry, mango and peach yogurts
  • When you add protein powder, your smoothie will taste different and expand so some smoothie recipes produce portions from one to two smoothies.  Experiment with and without to

You don't have any idea how happy I am to read this article. I am planning to reduce my food intake and I plan to resort on healthy smoothie. I know that it's going to take my time, effort and money for its preparation, but I am willing to do anything just to achieve the healthy lifestyle I am aiming. What's good about this is all items are all delicious!

It will not be false that the marketing is the backbone of the business. To increase the sales and to generate the maximum revenues you need the best advertisement for the product. So that people may be able to know about the product easily.
