Recipe Tips
- How do I get a thicker smoothie? For a thicker, frostier smoothie, use frozen fruit instead of fresh. You can freeze your own strawberries, peaches, and banana, and you may find you need less ice.
- How do I get a thinner smoothie? If your smoothie is too thick to blend easily, simply add more of the orange-peach-mango juice, a little at a time, until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- How can I make my smoothie creamier? To add a creamy texture and a boost of protein, you can add a scoop of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt or a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) to the blender.
- Can I add protein powder? Yes, this is a great recipe for adding a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder. Add it along with the juice and ice.
What To Serve With a Fruit Smoothie
