Generally speaking, mixing ingredients with a different consistency, amount of fibre, and fat causes the smoothies to separate with time. The longer you leave your smoothie, the more of a chance your smoothie will separate, with the heavier ingredients dropping down to the bottom of the smoothie bowl and the water, juice or milk staying on top.

Smoothies are quick, but that doesn't mean blending for 3 seconds is going to cut it. You want to blend everything really well so that your smoothie is lump-free. Aim for 1 to 2 minutes with a regular blender, or 1 minute if you're using a Vitamix.

Follow these 5 easy steps to get a perfect smoothie consistency:
1) Add your liquids. Start with water, milk, yogurt, or fruit juice.
2) Add any frozen ingredients, whether ice or fruit.
3) Add large ingredients, including chopped or sliced fruit or vegetables.
4) Add smaller, optional extras such as spices, peanut butter, or protein powder.
5) Start blending at low speed. Gradually increase speed and blend to your desired consistency. Blend until smooth.

If a smoothie is your best bet for squeezing some fruits and vegetables into your diet, that's OK - just don't go overboard. Take a look at the five worst ingredients you can add to your smoothie bowl:

🠺 Fruit juice
🠺 Flavored yogurt
🠺 Added sweeteners
🠺 Canned fruit
🠺 Ice Cream

Yes. By eating/drinking healthy foods that contain antioxidants, vitamins and other necessities that are vital in clearing up your skin. Here are some incredible plant based smoothie ingredients that will help your skin look great both now and in the future.

🠺 Avocado - good source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6.
🠺 Walnuts- rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, walnuts are a powerhouse in fighting inflammation.
🠺 Sweet potatoes- beta carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body, and acts as a natural sunblock.
🠺 Broccoli- the sulforaphane found in broccoli protects against skin cancer, according to this study.
🠺 Berries- low in sugar, high in flavour and antioxidants, berries will help generate glowing skin.

As part of a balanced diet, smoothies can help you lose weight. But ingredients, portion size, and your overall eating plan will make all the difference.

Liquid calories, no matter their source, will not curb your appetite as well as solid foods do. The key to making it healthy is to strike the right balance of vegetables, fruit, protein and fat.

Protein powders are an excellent way to pack in this essential macronutrient, but be sure to choose varieties that have little to no sugar and have zero artificial sweeteners.

You also want to be wary about the kind of liquid base you choose. Fruit juices are loaded with sugar and lack protein and fat. Instead, go for low-fat milk or an unsweetened, non-dairy milk alternative of your choice, like almond, coconut, or cashew. They won't have as much protein as cow's milk, but they'll have some healthy fats that'll help curb hunger.

If your stomach is growling an hour or two after drinking your morning smoothie, the solution might be as simple as adding protein powder.

Nut butter is another great ingredient you can add to fill you up longer, as it not only has protein, but also healthy fats to keep you satiated for several hours. Cottage cheese also makes a great protein-boosting addition-and will make your smoothie seriously creamy.

Seeds like chia, flax and hemp are nutritional powerhouses-full of healthy fats, fibre, protein and loads of vitamins and minerals.

The simple difference between a juice and smoothie is how it is made. A juicer that extracts or squeezes out liquid nutrients from fruits and vegetables. A smoothie is different because it is made with a blender or food processor. A smoothie is made by blending the whole fruit.

Frozen fruits and vegetables are picked when they are at the peak of their ripeness, and they are snap frozen within hours. In fact, some studies have shown that frozen produce has more antioxidants and vitamins than the fresh produce that’s been stored in your fridge for two or three days before being eaten

🠺 Protein Powder - They are low in calories and high in protein to keep you full longer.
🠺 Greens Powder - It’s an added boost of nutrients and micro-nutrients and a great way to add in more greens to your diet.
🠺 Honey – It’s an immunity booster, high in protein, and great for seasonal allergies.
🠺 Chia Seeds – High in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and tons of fibre to keep our digestive systems moving.
🠺 Brazil Nuts - If you’re a vegetarian, brazil nuts have selenium, which can be hard for vegetarians to get.
