]]> Spring is here, bringing about a breath of fresh air; and what’s fresher than fruit smoothies? If you agree, you should really check out the Everything Smoothie! It’s the ultimate way to reduce food waste while enjoying a delicious and nutritious treat.

So, what is the Everything Smoothie? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like – a drink made out of all the smoothie-worthy leftover ingredients you have lying around. The concept is simple: Gather any leftover ingredients, whether it’s that slightly overripe banana, a handful of berries, yogurt or milk nearing their expiration date, or even cookies or chocolate that aren’t that fresh anymore. Then, throw them all into a blender and blend until smooth. Of course, a liquid basis (like yogurt, milk, or a similar substitute) is the only non-optional ingredient – so don’t forget to include one.

Why It’s Awesome

What makes the Everything Smoothie truly special is its versatility. There are no strict rules or complicated recipes to follow – just let your creativity guide you as you experiment with different flavor combinations and textures.This way, your body gets to enjoy a variety of nutritious ingredients while you’re being kind to the environment – a definite win-win. 

So, next time you encounter leftovers, don’t let them go to waste! Try turning them into a satisfying and flavorful spring beverage instead.

]]> Smoothies are often hailed as one of the healthiest foods on the market, but the grim reality is that they’re just as healthy as you make them. It all comes down to picking the right ingredients, starting with the liquid base, but which is the best possible option for you?

Water

If you want your smoothie to be as healthy as it gets, you can’t go wrong with the water. It contains zero calories so it basically can do no harm to your smoothie, but it comes with one tiny downside. Water doesn’t add any flavor to your smoothies, either, so you should consider mixing it up with other liquids.

Milk

Your smoothies will have a much better taste and creamier texture if you add some milk to the mix. Its main downside is that it also ups the fat content of your smoothies, and that’s why many people opt for healthier plant-based alternatives, including soy and almond milk.

Juice

Juice is one of the most polarizing smoothie add-ins out there, and it’s not difficult to see why. Unless you’re using fresh juice, your smoothie will end up loaded with sugar, and that’s why commercially produced juices don’t make for a good smoothie liquid base.

]]> Smoothies are one of the most popular healthy foods out there because they’re quick and easy to make, but it sometimes takes time to perfect your recipe. If you want to improve your smoothies, changing one little thing is usually all it takes, and these quick fixes will really elevate the taste of your smoothies.

Improving Thickness

The thickness of your smoothie comes down to the amount of water, milk, and other liquids that you’re using. If you feel that your smoothie is too thick, you can easily fix this mistake by pouring some more liquid inside your blender to get the smoothie of your dreams.

Improving Sweetness

You may be tempted to add sugar to your smoothie if you don’t feel like it’s sweet enough, but this is a huge no-no. Fruits add their natural sweetness to the smoothie, but you can also use natural sweeteners, including honey and maple syrup. If you went overboard with sweet ingredients, a few drops of lemon juice can decrease the sweetness of your smoothie.

Improving Creaminess

Finding the right balance between solid and liquid ingredients plays a crucial role in improving the creaminess of your smoothie. It’s common to use ice cream or yogurt to make smoothies more creamy, but you should avoid going with these add-ins and opt for avocados instead.

How do you make carrot taste amazing in a smoothie? Blend it with orange juice, peaches, cardamom, and a tiny bit of dried apricots. BOOM! Delicious! You can find the full printed recipe on the blog. The link in my profile allows you to click through to the recipe to pin and save. This smoothie is a fantastic immune-boosting blend. If you've never put carrots in a smoothie before, scrub or peel them, and then chop them into small pieces for the best results. Carrots can get really mealy in a lot of conventional blenders, and so I was blown away by the performance I got from the new @KitchenAidUSA K400 Blender. This mid-range blender is designed to tackle tough ingredients like fibrous carrots. So, the motor and blade construction work with the Soft-Start feature and so you get an incredible smooth texture with carrots, apple, dates, nuts, leafy greens, and other fibrous ingredients. I'm super excited that I now have a coupon code for KitchenAid blenders until the end of the year.
