While we can't recommend asparagus or cheddar-flavored drinks, we encourage you to experiment, using this road map to the ultimate healthy blended beverage. To complete this How-To you will need: 1 c. fresh or frozen fruit ½ c. fruit juice A blender 2 tbsp. milk, light cream, or yogurt And a tall glass Honey Ice Protein powder, wheat germ, bee pollen, or flaxseed Step 1: Choose fruit and juice Choose your fruit and fruit juice. Tip: A variety of flavors mixed together can make for the most satisfying smoothie—a few dashes of cranberry juice or a squeeze of lime may be just what that O.J. and banana combo needs. Step 2: Peel, pit, or de-seed fruit Peel, pit, or de-seed your fruit if necessary. Step 3: Put in fruit, add juice Put the fruit in the blender, and add the juice. Tip: For a sweet smoothie, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of honey. For a cold one, add 6 to 8 ice cubes. And for an extra health kick, throw in protein powder, wheat germ, bee pollen, or flaxseed. Step 4: Add milk, cream, or yogurt Add the milk, light cream, or yogurt to give the smoothie a rich and silky texture. Step 5: Blend Put the lid on the blender, and blend at a medium speed until smooth. Tip: Running your blender too high will turn your creation into glorified fruit juice. Running it too slow will leave behind large chunks of unblended fruit. Step 6: Taste Stop the blender and do a taste test, then make any necessary adjustments, adding yogurt or ice to thicken, honey to sweeten. Step 7: Pour and serve Pour your smoothie into the glass, and serve. Thanks for watching How To Make a Fruit Smoothie!
