“Great smoothies deliver balanced nutrition with protein, fat, and carbs for a sustained release of energy, and have a mind blowing dimensional flavor that takes you on a journey like a textured dish.”

“Herbal teas like chamomile, rooibos, and mint tea can add surprising notes of flavor, and water and milk kefirs are a great way to add probiotics to smoothies.”

“A combo of raw unsalted cashews and rolled oats deliver a beautiful buttery pastry flavor in pie-in-a-glass dessert smoothies.”

"Mild, medium, and strong-flavored greens such as spinach, romaine, kale, chard, collards, baby bok choy, radish greens, beet greens, arugula, and dandelion greens can be added in varying amounts.”

“Our taste buds are temperature sensitive, so you can add frozen raw cauliflower, broccoli, or zucchini to smoothies without altering flavor which is a great way to get more veggies into children.”

“Instead of using protein powders made with isolates, chemicals, and additives, add nuts and seeds or their butters. These whole foods are better digested with fruits, and don’t overpower the flavors.”

“Freeze leftover milks and juices in ice cube trays to make ‘flavored ice’ to boost flavor and add a creamy texture to smoothies.” 

“The first phase of digestion begins in the mouth. Instead of gulping smoothies quickly, swish each sip in your mouth, and consume slowly over the course of 30 minutes or so to reduce bloating and reflux.”
