Notes

Making a perfect smoothie at home is super easy if you follow few tips. Here are few that I have gathered over years.
Use frozen fruitโ€“ I always like to use frozen fruit for homemade smoothies and milkshakes. Adding frozen fruits makes the smoothie super thick as well as cold, meaning you can choose to not ice cubes.
Liquid baseโ€“ Any smoothie needs a liquid base which can be milk, yogurt or fruit juices or water. Yes you can use perfectly delicious smoothie with just water too.
Select milk depending on the fruits or vegetables. Almond milk goes well with berries, oats and coconut milk goes very well with tropical fruits like pineapple, mangoes.
