Smoothie Tips & Tricks

Flavor Explosions:

• Frozen Fruit is Key: Frozen fruit makes your smoothies thick and frosty. Plus, you don’t need ice, which can water down the flavor. (we usually use frozen fruit but many love using fresh fruit… less ice and much smoother if you use frozen)
• Mix it Up: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different fruits and veggies! Some surprising combos taste amazing together.
• Flavor Boosters: Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, a dash of cinnamon, or a spoonful of nut butter for an extra kick.

Texture Tips:

• Go Bananas: Frozen bananas make smoothies extra creamy.
• Add Some Oats: Oats make your smoothie thicker and keep you feeling full longer.
• Greens are Great: Spinach or kale add nutrients and don’t change the taste much.

Blending Secrets:

• Liquid First: Always add your liquids (like milk or juice) to the blender first, then add the other ingredients. This helps everything blend smoothly.
• Don’t Overblend: Blend until your smoothie is smooth, but don’t overdo it. Overblending can make it warm.

How to Store Leftover Mango Banana Smoothies

You want to keep that mango-banana goodness as fresh as possible, right? Here’s the best way to store your smoothies:

If you’re drinking it within a day or two:

• Refrigerator: Pour your leftover smoothie into a jar or container with an airtight lid. Give it a good shake or stir before you drink it, as some ingredients might settle.

If you want to save it for later (up to 3 months):

• Freezer: Here are a couple of options:
  • Ice Cube Trays: Pour your smoothie into ice cube trays and freeze. ¹ Once frozen, pop the cubes into a freezer bag. This is great for single servings or if you want to use the smoothie in other recipes later!
  • Freezer-Safe Containers: Make sure to leave some space at the top of the container because the smoothie will expand as it freezes.
• Important Tips:
• Always use airtight containers to prevent your smoothie from absorbing other flavors in your fridge or freezer.
• Don’t forget to label and date your containers so you know how long they’ve been stored.

I really didn’t change much except my daughter’s kept wondering where the syrup was (agave nectar) and so I added a tiny tsp. and I added it for the whole recipe, not per glass. It’s really not needed but it was good either way. I also added a cup of ice at the end to make it more like a frozen smoothie. I have horrible luck with frozen bananas, so I put mine in unfrozen and just added some ice. By the time I changed up the recipe though, I had made it serve more people, which is good because there were 4 kids waiting in line for a delicious little glass of this yummy Mango Banana Smoothie.

They are wonderfully refreshing on a hot day!
