What texture should a smoothie be?

When it comes to texture, you ideally want your smoothie to be, well… smooth. This means a perfect balance of liquids and solids. A smoothie that’s too thick is a task to drink, and a smoothie that’s too thin is more like juice.

How do I get my smoothie smooth?

Add yogurt or dairy-free yogurt. Yogurt is thick and creamy, which makes your smoothie thick and creamy too. If it’s too thick, keep blending a bit longer to thin things out. Yogurt is one ingredient that will help you make the smoothest smoothie you can imagine!

  3. Add 1/2 to 1 Cup of Yogurt.
  4. Add a Handful of Leafy Green Vegetables.
  5. Add Some Health-Boosters.
  6. Add a Few Dashes of Spices or Powders.
  7. Blend for 1 to 2 Minutes, or Until Desired Consistency.

Too gritty: If your smoothie is gritty, your powder just needs more blender time. If you’re sensitive to fibrous textures, stay away from fibrous veggies like banana and use ice or frozen berries instead. If it’s too thin, add more ice or frozen fruit. If it’s too thick, add more liquid.
