you should try putting kale in your smoothie.

Best smoothie I've ever had was from a Jamaican food truck almost 6 years ago. It was pineapple, ginger, mango and lime. I still dream about it.

Just made the chocolate peanut butter smoothie following this recipe and it’s delicious. The dates do something magical to this combination of flavors, 10/10.

i love the fact that he used metal straw instead of the plastic one to enhance the sophistication of this video

“When I make smoothies, I have a few rules and none of them involve Kale”

You godsend 😂

Dates soaked in milk for a couple of hours or overnight takes the smoothie to a whole new level.

I use Orange Gatorade Zero as my fluid. Add Frozen Mangoes, Frozen berries, boom tastes exactly like Jamba Juice.. And thanks for sharing! Adding dates and putting liquid first to save the blades is a new one for me

Personally I like to make a batch of “smoothie bags” and put them in the freezer. Chop the fruits and veg, freeze, when you want it pop that in the blender, add liquids, badabing you got a nice smoothie

Finally someone agrees with me on ice cubes diluting stuff

I was using almond milk in my smoothies for a long time. I just switched to coconut milk and it’s incredible.

My home economics teacher played this for my class for a food lab I loved the video so I found you

I really like putting yogurt in my smoothies, makes it nice and thicc. You can use flavored or plain yogurt. Be careful not to put to much yogurt because it will be very tart I would say a 3rd of a cup is a good amount.

Quick tip: I found putting kale in any smoothie really helps expand the flavor.

"When I get a smoothie, I have a few rules. And none of them include kale."
Amen, brother.

My daily smoothie:

140 g frozen fruit (usually blueberry or strawberry for me, but mango is good too)
100 g frozen banana slices (I slice and freeze on a silpat, then put them in a zip-lock baggie or freezer container)
50 g spinach (I buy fresh spinach, then freeze it)
140 g greek yogurt (team Chobani all the way)
230 g liquid (I do half orange or pineapple juice and half non-dairy milk)

This is super basic, but you get a pretty consistent amount and viscosity every time. I also add spirulina powder, but that does not add to the taste or texture of the smoothie at all. If I am more hungry, I add 1/2 c cooked instant oats that I pre-blend. It adds nice fiber and bulk to the smoothie to keep you full for a longer time.
