Tips

Use natural peanut butter or you can make your own nut butter.
Use frozen fruit. This gives the smoothie a more dense and creamy consistency.
You can use sweet or sour apples. Apple varieties such as Granny Smith, Gala, or Fuji are ideal for this recipe. For more, check out our article "Types of Apples".
Slice the bananas before freezing. Freeze the bananas on a parchment-lined tray. Then store it in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Use any type of milk. You can use whole milk or plant-based milk such as almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, cashew milk or soy milk.
If you want the smoothie consistency to be more watery, you can use water instead of milk.
Use ice to add texture to the smoothie. Add ice to the mix to get a cold and watery consistency. Skip this step if you want a thick and creamy texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add more juice, milk, or ice. If it's too watery, add more frozen fruit.
Instead of sugar, use sweeteners such as agave nectar, honey, stevia, maple syrup, or dates.
Use fresh juice to reduce the amount of sugar. Ready-made juices contain a lot of sugar.
First put the liquid and hard ingredients in the blender.
Use coconut milk, strained yogurt, kefir, or almond butter to add a creamy texture.
You can add strained yogurt, cashew butter, chia seeds, or vanilla protein powder as protein to the recipe.
You can use a food processor or a high speed blender.
