    Expert Tips

    • Any type of sherbet will work - try orange instead of pineapple!
    • Use frozen strawberries and bananas and you can omit the ice.
    • Buy the ingredients in bulk and prep enough to drink all week long.
    • Consider a blender with a powerful motor and ideally has a smoothie setting - it helps puree all those frozen chunks!

    Variations

    • Add raw spinach - you can’t taste the spinach in smoothies in moderate quantities!
    • Add strawberry preserves for a sweeter smoothie without any fake flavoring syrups.
    • Mix up the fruits - try adding frozen blackberries or frozen chunks of mango.
    • Add grains such as quick oats, ground flax, or wheat bran — they’re a great source of fiber, protein, and varying vitamins and minerals.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Place smoothie in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

    Freezing: Freeze the smoothie mixture in muffin tins. Once frozen transfer to a freezer safe zip top bag for later.

    Recipe FAQ's

    How long should I blend a smoothie?

    You'll want to blend everything really well so that your smoothie is free of lumps. In a regular blender, about 1-2 minutes and in a high powdered blender, about 1 minute.

    What order do I add things to the blender when making a smoothie?

    Place softer foods such as liquids and fresh fruits in first, then hard, solid foods last. Combining smoothie ingredients in the wrong order can cause frozen fruit and ice to get caught in the blender blades.

    Can you use frozen fruit in smoothies?

    Yes! In fact, having frozen fruit on hand makes it so easy to whip up a smoothie anytime. You can use fresh fruit, but frozen fruit gives your smoothie that nice icy thick texture. You can also eliminate any ice most of the time when you use frozen fruit instead.

    Is frozen fruit as good as fresh?

    Yes. Fruits and vegetables are picked and frozen at peak ripeness retaining their nutrients.

    What is sherbet?

    Sherbet is made with fruit and water but also has the addition of dairy, usually milk or buttermilk.
