  • Think whether the ingredients will fit inside your blender.
    In case you have a smaller blender, like the one we used for this recipe, split the ingredients into 2 or 3 equal portions, then follow the instructions for each portion separately.

  • Add all the ingredients to the blender, making sure the water is at the bottom of the blender.
    If you have a blender with an ingredient recipient that needs to be turned upside down when installed on the blender, always add the water lastly. This way, the blades will work smoothly instead of clogging in other ingredients.

  • Blend the ingredients until the smoothie has a fine texture (about 30-60 seconds).
    If you have a weaker blender, you may want to mix the ingredients for longer than 1 minute. Nevertheless, to avoid overheating your blender, respect the blending time recommendation in your blender's manual.
