How to make smoothies
The recipe card at the bottom of the page has the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions.
STEP #1: Gather the ingredients for the smoothie of your choice from the four options listed below.
Load all of the ingredients into your blender.
STEP #2: Start your blender on the lowest setting and slowly crank up as the dessert begins to puree. Add more ice as necessary to achieve the desired consistency. Blend until smooth.
If it is too thick, add a splash of plant milk until you get it to the right thickness for your tastes.
STEP #3: One of my favorite frozen smoothie recipes is Chocolate Banana Smoothie because it allows me to have a little bit of chocolate without having to bake a special treat. And, the banana is all that’s needed for sweetener.
