Maranda Gaines Assignment 20: How to make a smoothie

1.       Choose your fruits. This can be as simple as one or two fruits or every kind of fruit in your house. I don’t recommend apples because it gives the smoothie a gritty texture which grosses me out but some people love that. I usually use a ton of berries and a banana. There are endless combinations! Cut the fruit up if necessary. There should probably be one to two cups of fruit.

2.       Choose your “creamy” agent. This could be banana if you want or milk or both! Either way it’ll make your smoothie ten times better if it’s creamy.

3.       Choose your GREENS! I can’t stress enough how easy it is to add in a couple handfuls of spinach or kale to a smoothie and automatically get a ton of extra vitamins and minerals. I promise you can’t even taste it!

4.       Add a little bit of ice if your blender can handle it (my old blender used to shut itself down if it had to actually blend things) and either water, juice, or milk if you hadn’t already added that in. Blend and enjoy!
