A Few Smoothie-Making Expert Tips

1. Blend Like A Pro

Liquids first, then veggies and fruits, and then the seeds or other goodies.

2. Go Slow On The Liquids

It’s better to start with too little liquid than too much. Build up your blend by tasting in between before deciding to add more fluid.

3. Organic = Fantastic

When you use organic fruits and vegetables, you enhance the taste and avoid unnecessary toxins.

4. When Going Green

When using leafy greens such as spinach, start blending the liquids with the leaves and add the fruits later.

• Banana – 1
• Chia seeds – 1,5 tablespoon

INGREDIENTS (2 SERVINGS)

• Spinach – 1 big handful
• Cucumber – 1/3
• Kiwi - 1
• Mango – 1/2

Happy spooning!
