🥤 The Frozen Fruit Smoothie Formula (Makes 1 Large Smoothie)
Frozen Fruit
Any single fruit or mix — berries, mango, peach, pineapple. Frozen = thick, cold, no ice needed.
The Banana
Adds natural sweetness + creaminess. The secret to a velvety smooth texture. Use ½ per serving.
Greek Yogurt
Protein + probiotics + creaminess. Full-fat gives the richest result. Plain works best — no artificial flavours.
Milk Amount
Start with ¼ cup for thick. Add more for drinkable consistency. Never add too much at once — you can’t take it back.

Pro Tips for Perfect Smoothies
Always add liquid first
Add yogurt and milk to the blender before frozen fruit. This protects the blades and helps everything blend more smoothly.
Freeze ripe bananas
Peel overripe bananas and freeze in bags. Frozen banana + frozen fruit = no ice needed and a much creamier texture.
Add milk gradually
Start with less liquid than you think you need. You can always add more — you can’t take it back once your smoothie is watery.
Blend for a full 60 seconds
Most home blenders need a full minute for truly smooth smoothies. Stopping at 30 seconds usually leaves chunks.
Spinach goes in first
For green smoothies, blend spinach with the liquid completely before adding frozen fruit. This ensures no green flecks remain.
Prep freezer packs
Pre-portion smoothie ingredients (fruit + banana) into freezer bags on Sunday. Each morning just tip one bag in the blender.
