How to make a smoothie
The method of preparation is the same everywhere – cut the ingredients into cubes. First you grind the hard ingredients – nuts, oatmeal. Then – juicy fruits and berries. Then they add viscous ingredients, such as banana. Then liquids, ice. The more powerful blender you use, the more uniform and airy your drink will be. My recommendation is a stationary blender with a power of 800 watts or more.
About ingredients for smoothies
The recipes specify ingredients for 1-2 servings. Ice needs to be frozen in cubes beforehand in molds. It is better to use vegetable milk, as ordinary milk can curdle in an acidic environment. Oranges and grapefruit need to be peeled from the membranes between the slices. I recommend replacing the sugar with either honey, agave syrup or a good sweetener. One scoop of a substitute weighs only 1 g and replaces 1 tsp of sugar. I suggest using pink Himalayan salt. By natural yogurt, I mean unsweetened yogurt without any additives. Here we go.
