Smoothie tips
(taken from "Our Best Bites Recipe Book")
If not using frozen fruit add ice for a thicker smoothie
1. Choose 1 item from Base 1
2. Choose 1 item from Base 2
3. Fruit=Balance out your fruits. You aren’t limited to 2 fruits, but you do need to make sure the flavors balance out; don’t use more than ¾ cup total of a strong fruit or 1 cup total of a moderate fruit, but you can mix and match within a category to equal the ¾ cup or 1 cup total.
4. Choose any extra add-ins.
