Top Tips for Healthy Smoothie Making<\/h3>\n

>> Be prepared!<\/strong> Have the recipe you want to make in mind and the ingredients you need at hand. That way you can pop everything in, blitz and go.<\/p>\n

>> Invest in a great tool<\/strong>. Choose a\u00a0smoothie maker<\/a> that is easy to use and clean \u2013 no one wants to be hassling with cleaning a cumbersome machine.<\/p>\n

>> Switch it up<\/strong>. You’ll get bored if you have the same thing every day. A great way to avoid this is to buy fruits and veggies that you want to use, portion and freeze them. If you have a good blender, it should blitz frozen produce easily and will keep your smoothie chilled.<\/p>\n

>> Be smart about ingredients<\/strong>. Make sure you don’t load up with too many sugary fruits that taste good, but don’t have substance. You need a balance of fruits, veggies and other ingredients like nut m*lks<\/a> and butters for protein, or avo or coconut oil<\/a> for satiety. Check out this list of potential smoothie pitfalls<\/a>, so that you can avoid them.<\/p>\n

>> Add substance<\/strong>. Infuse your smoothies with superfoods<\/a> for a nutrition and vitamin boost.<\/p>\n
