As your progress in your green smoothie making adventure here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1. For a creamy texture always use frozen fruit or veggies. If you forgot to freeze your fruit in advance, just add a few ice cubes.
2. It’s important to have a good source of healthy fat in each smoothie. This will help keep you stay fuller for longer and balance your blood sugar levels. In the smoothie below I used avocado and hemp seeds. Other options are nut butters, tahini, flaxseed meal, coconut milk, and coconut oil
3. As with fat, it’s important to include a good source of protein to help keep you satiated for longer. I used hemp seeds and marine collagen in the smoothie below. Nuts, seeds and their butters are good sources of plant-based protein. You can also use good quality protein or collagen powder. I use only marine collagen.
4. Keep in mind the flavor of the smoothie overall when choosing your fat or protein so it will taste delicious.
5. Take the opportunity to add an extra health and flavor boost with the addition of superfoods such as ginger, turmeric, greens powders, mushroom elixir, lucuma or maca powder.
6. The better your blender the better your result. I use a Vitamix which is excellent, giving you a smooth result without overheating the smoothie.
7. For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, use less liquid and as in the first tip, use frozen fruit and veggies.
