Smoothie Making Tips

If you love making smoothies and are looking for delicious and healthy ones, then this watermelon smoothie is for you! Here are a few tips on how to make it turn out perfectly. 

  • Too thin? Try using frozen fruit instead. This helps thicken your smoothie right up! You can also add in some ice if you donโ€™t have any frozen fruit on hand.
  • Too thick? If you canโ€™t even suck it out of your straw then itโ€™s probably too thick! Add in some extra coconut milk to thin it out a bit. 
  • Order matters: If you are having a hard time mixing this up in your blender then youโ€™ve probably loaded it up wrong (I know, itโ€™s crazy that there is a right way to put stuff in!). Start with your liquids, then fruits and greens and then any ice should be added on top!
