1) Too much milk (Use half milk half water)
2) Don’t overuse fruits (Use more veg)
3) Too little healthy fats and fibre
4) No need for extra sweeteners (Honey, maple syrup, juice)
5) Using protein powders with lots of sugars
6) Not adding real fresh raw leafy greens (Spinach, Kale)
7) Too little variety in smoothie ingredients (Rotate ingredients)
8) Use a good blender (Recommended blenders linked in description)
9) Not using ripened fruit
10) Not adding in protein (Not necessarily protein powder)
Hope that helps if your short on time :)
John Appleseed I appreciate you posting this here. I like to get right to the point and other times, I would watch a lengthy video.
I love u
I can just read this and forget the long video! Thank u
I am about to make my smoothie video :)
John Appleseed but why is what I was waiting for
I feel like these are not really mistakes, but preferences.
Sachin Kumar h
Yes
True
Exactly
I feel the same
I'm really new to the smoothie game. This video was extremely helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Adding the protein was my favorite tip.
I get a big bag of spinach or kale from the garden. I freeze them for smoothies since they don't last long in the fridge
Good idea. Thanks for that.
Wow, never thought to freeze them..I waste so much spinach or kale.
Yesss buy a few packs and store it in freezer bags. You do kale like that also.
That dog in the beginning licking that bowl..is EXACTLY why I dont eat everyone's food. 🤐
😂😂😂this made me laugh
Big facts
Ugh. I literally said people are so disgusting!! But i assume she threw that product out.
Ikr
YUCK
Love these tips! I'm always telling clients to watch their fruit:veggie ratio!
She is absolutely correct I love your recipe and I’m following your way thank you for your awesome advice 👍
Your green smoothie guide is seriously amazing 🙌🏻 I have been using it religiously for months and it’s so easy and helpful!
Where is the smoothie guide?🍎
Ive convinced myself to give smoothies a try again this helped alot!
Thanks for all the great tips! I definitely need to cut back on the fruit, you have inspired me to do green smoothies for breakfast this week!
When I get home from the market, I put my greens ( usually Kroger power greens) in sandwich bags (2 cups per) and pop them in the freezer. If I don't do this, I frequently lose some greens when they become slime. I agree with you that every smoothie needs greens. For me it is 2 cups in every smoothie.
I make green smoothies almost every day and I sweeten them with a spoonful of orange juice concentrate. It may be too much sugar but I feel that since I really pack in lots of kale and spinache in my smoothies that it's worth it to make it more palateable. Over time I will try to decrease the amount of oj however.
One piece of Kale is powerful. I think you’re good 😊
The vitamin C in the orange juice enhances the absorption of iron in the greens.
Great tips! My go to smoothie is spinach, kale, few blueberries, banana, chia seeds, spirulina, chlorella, water and few nuts. Very tasty and keeps me full
😊
Sounds fantastic!
That's a banging combo
Hey thank you I'm just starting now to make some smoothies you gave me some helpful hints keep up the good work
Thank you. I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge. Presentation is perfect.
Thank you for sharing.
Glad you brought up the “ over sweetening”.
I’m new to the crafting of smoothies here’s were I need some counsel.
The research I’ve done most seem to be sweet. I’d rather drink a V8 rather then a taste of ice cream. If you, or others can direct me in some recipes that may lean towards the V8 taste I’d greatly appreciate it.
🌟My best tip: blend all ingredients except the protein and avocado.... then in a medium to low speed add in them in (it prevents extra air bubbles) my tummy does not like extra bubbles 😆
I am such a smoothie lover also 😍I use my vitamin like three times a day 🎉
Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome video. Thank you. I've been mastering my smoothies since March. I've been doing it quite right after watching your video. I am thrilled. So happy. Thank you.
Awesome tips! Thank you! Just started making smoothies!
Coconut water as smoothie liquid 👍🏻. Or half coconut water and half coconut milk, It goes very well with pineapples and some bananas. Wow
YESSS! I preach #2 to my clients all the time... thanks for pointing this out!👏🏼💕
Kayla Chandler Just subscribed to your channel. Can’t wait to binge watch 💕
@@Kauilanixo Yay!🤗
so important!
Thank you. Great video. I have learnt so much in making my smoothies. Will continue to watch.
Love you and your smoothies, a correct guideline to prepare.
I was surprised you didn't mention beans. Great fiber, protein and really fills you up that way. I put about 1/3 c of garbanzo or white beans in most of my smoothies. Otherwise, you had some great tips! I've learned much from you over the years!
Can you add white beans or kidney beans? Thanks John
Oh cool tip! I need to get more beans in! I bet black beans into my chocolate smoothies would be great b/c there are black bean brownie desserts that taste good. :) thanks for the ideas!
Kidney beans must be cooked first, otherwise soaked or sprouted or raw - poisonous.
Yes, (cooked) beans make smoothies more silky and filling. (They count as fiber and they have protein, so you don't need to get protein powder)
I put oats in mine. Oats provide lots of fiber + texture.
I use turmeric and ginger tea as my smoothie base. It works beautifully and keeps my stomach from cramping up. I also use the Ace blender which works really well and isn't expensive. I use oat flour and nut butter for protein and I have to use a tablespoon of honey when I put celery in my smoothie because the celery taste is just too strong.
Oat flour has protein?! Are you sure? That's the first I hear of that.
Update: OK, I checked and you're right :) However, I'll opt for using just oat milk instead. I wouldn't want the smoothie to get too thick.
How much tumeric do you use?
@@kaaylaskorner about an inch or 2.
@@noelogden1625
Thanks!
Thank you this helped me so much!!
Thank you for the EXCELLENT video.
Could you provide more information about collagen supplements? Thanks for the tips
Yes, to non fruit smoothies! Great video, I learned so much. Thanks
Very HELPFUL. THANK YOU.❤
So many great reminders in this video. Thank you.
we love your antioxidant smoothie with the beetroot, chard and blueberry. Yes, blender is very important, we bought the small vitamix and luckily it was 50 pounds off, but I’ve heard you can by second had as good as new 🥑🥑🥑🥑
So glad to hear!! And great tip on getting a second hand Vitamix, that's smart!
Great video! Absolutely agree that it's not necessary to add sweeteners to the smoothie. The only powder I would consider adding is Spirulina because it is so difficult to get fresh.
Which Beans would you recommend to add to a smoothie?
What if you add Monk Fruit powder or Quercetin? They are sweet.
Omg I tried the guide thing on how to do it it was AMAZING!!! Definitely recommend 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
All these are great recommendations! TY for sharing
The “half milk half water” just saved me! I was running through sooo many cartons of Oat milk. 😩😩😩
oat milk is very expensive and super easy to make!! use 1 part oats to 3 parts water, blend with sweetener and a pinch of salt strain with a nut milk bag for best results but a strainer or cheesecloth works too! it can be stored for about a week in the fridge.
Hi :D I think you can add water and oats to your blender alone and blend so that you get oatmilk with pulp. Then add the veggies and fruit. The oat pulp will not be noticeable in a smoothie plus it is extra fiber.
If you have a high powered blender, Just toss a few pinches of oats into the blender with your water and smoothie ingredients ~ the oat milk gets made at the same time as the smoothie 😊
Great tips! One of my favorites that I always like to live by is not always putting milk or yogurt into your smoothies and just use simple water as a base. I would love to watch any and all smoothie recipes that you would like to make.
So i just recently bought a blender to make smoothies. Been struggling to be creative to let alone make it a balanced meal. This video was super helpful thank you!
Thank you as these are great pointers! 🌿
Great tips! I'm always surprised to see smoothies without any protein. I've added garbanzo beans a few times to smoothies
All fruits and veggies have protein. That's where animals get their protein.
SOOOOO HELPFUL! Definitely going to try cauliflower in my smoothies! PLEEEEEEASE make some banana free smoothie recipes. That would be so appreciated!
Yes banana free... I detest bananas 😖😖
on it!
@@HealthNutNutrition Did you make a banana or fruit free smoothies video? I'd love to see it! (:
Thank you for your healthy tips on making smoothies.😊👍🏽
I'm on the right track I'm doing everything you said. Yay 👍😁
I'm just starting up on my smoothie journey, my favorite for now is mixed berries & yogurt w/ ice.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m one who likes the fibery feel in my smoothies, as it tends to slow me down with drinking it. Absolutely LOVE to throw in some oats or even some broccoli for the fibery feel. 😊
Happy I found this! Looking to go back to smoothies for breakfast, but found my smoothies lacking. And my blender broke. But have been craving smoothies again!
New to smoothies. This is very helpful. Thank you
I’m not into my smoothies tasting like vegetables, LOL. If I’m not adding extra sweeteners, at least let me add a lot of fruit 😂
Linzie Rosa real talk!!
Noop
Try blueberries and or all berries from the freezer.
For sure! Nothing wrong with fresh fruits blended with veggies!
Thats just a preference of hers. You go ahead and enjoy your smoothies with your added fruit! We just have to make sure we don't consume too much of the sweeter fruits that are higher sugar, thats all. If your drinking them instead of eating, by all means , you add the fruits that you love!
Same here! Don’t like smoothie taste like veggies. Love it with fruits! I put my fruits in the freezer. Strawberries, pineapple, orange, mango and cantaloupe. Add 1tbs honey and 1tbs apple cider vinegar.
I don’t like green smoothies without bananas. I DO NOT like celery. My smoothie has to have banana.
Im a big banana fan too but there are so good subs like frozen mango if you run out ;)
Gosh, I love fresh celery juice! It is great at quenching thirst! So satisfying!
Celery..no!
That’s funny I know most people love banana in the smoothie but for me it just doesn’t work it makes me nauseous when i add banana in it( except for a chocolate healthy dessert smoothie i make for my kids. The PB in it covers the banana taste)
celery literally does nothing for your body
Thank you for this useful information. And yes sometime I get in a rut of using the same ingredients and get bored with it. Thank you again and I enjoyed your video.
Thanks for advice. I am getting ready to get in to smoothies.
I love all your videos! I’m a follower since so long!
I put soft tofu in my smoothie as protein, it also give a really smooth texture :)
Can you taste the tofu in it?
Do u know if tofu can be frozen?
@@fionagillespie9257 Jes, I think so. It may change the texture a little bit but that does not matter in a smoothie.
Thank you Virginie!! 😊
Hey, so, if you are the smoothie queen, how about some advice for people who want to do healthy smoothies that doesn't have that budget to be constantly changing up their ingredients and constantly using fresh ingredients. In fact, I would love to see a 30-day minimal budget smoothie challenge. (And I mean like.... only $100 for a months-worth of smoothies)
Great vid for novice smoothie makers, TY ❤
Great information and great advice! We need nutrition, variety, and less sugar!
Peas are 8g of protein per cup. It's filling, green, starchy, and has protein. Kind of a win everywhere. Also, peas are gross and it helps to eat them this way. 😂
😆👏
A cup of peas ? Aughhh
I never even considered this. Thanks for the suggestion.
High in fiber as well. Great tip!
The only peas I have ever eaten that were gross were canned peas. Frozen peas mixed with potatoes or rice dishes are awesome. A good pea soup is one of my favorites.
My smoothies are made mostly of veggies 🥦🥒🥬😂 I find that 1/2 a ripe banana or 2/3 cup of berries is all I need! I loveeee adding cinnamon!
My favorite non banana smoothies is a pineapple mango smoothie! (1/3 cup of each) 😋I enjoy just using hemp seeds (or sometimes plain Greek yogurt) for my protein!
love this!
Looove the second one!! That’s literally my go to + spinach and coconut milk to blend 🤤
Why do you need to add cinanamon to a smoothie. Please make a video showing yourself drinking a smoothie with that ingredient added.
Michelle i add it to EVERY smoothie, besides a chocolate or vanilla one.
@@Michelle-pn9xt preference..not a requirement.
Thank you for the information in this video!!
I love your video and the motivation you give to new juicers .
Video: use more vegetables or it's just a dessert
Me: loads in frozen mango, pineapples, and strawberries with 100% grape juice... Hmm and now a single spinach leaf XD
Lol me too but with 1 cup orange juice and a handful of baby spinach XD
I love the ideas. This is what I needed to hear about being satiated on a balanced healthy smoothie. As for adding sugars I'm gonna gradually reduce that because I'm the type that won't drink it if it's not sweet or tasty. I've got myself into a jam with sugar addiction so I'm gonna ween off of it gradually using honey and other natural sugars until I'm straight.
Love your great tips, I'm excited to try some that you have suggested!
a truly wonderful instruction for a beginner like me.
Needed this in my life!! Thanks for sharing 🥑 also I got a ninja blender last November during Black Friday and it was originally 99 and I got it for 49 I think it work well so my tip is always wait for sales lol
good thinking!
Adding too much fruit? That’s a taste preference not a mistake !
Exactly. I prefer to add more fruit instead of sweeteners
I know right? I think what she mention here are preferences,not mistakes
Ikr
A lot of times people add way too much fruit so it just makes the smoothie way to full of sugar. Most smoothies contain way more fruit than anyone would think about eating in one sitting
I do use 1 tlb.of organic honey.
Nice lady just brought blender looking forward to following some of her tips
Thank you very much for this information! Very helpful!
Yes i would love a fruit free and a banana free smoothie! Thanks!
Thanks for your videos! You’re doing a great job! 😊🌐🌐😊
Thanks you, very helpful video, i'm a newbie, can't wait to start Juicing!
Thank you so much for these tips!
Excellent advice! I always put honey in my drink because it boosts my immunity, but I forgot to add vegetables as you did. Next time, I'll use spinach as well as my favorite white honey by Geohoney's
I felt like I was in trouble the whole time this video was on, 10/10
I love making smoothies I usually add spinach, avocado, fruit and milk or water sometimes a protein powder or ensure powder I’ve tried celery and carrots. I agree on getting all of the food groups
Getting into smoothies now...subscribed. Thanks for tips.
Thanks for the tips, especially the "too much milk" tip. I buy high quality nut milks with no added sugar or fillers, so the price is higher than most box milks. This tip will help me save money in the long run.
MAKING YOUR OWN ALMOND MILK IS EASY, CHEAP, AND HAS NO ADDITIVES!!
Love your channel and would love to see a Omega 3 rich smoothie or a women Hormone smoothie. Lol that sounds weird but I make Maca and Matcha smoothie and it is the bomb!
christina wilde A maca and matcha smoothie sounds amazing!!! 💚 What else do you put in it?
@@jacklynmadrigal292 Hi, I add 1-1.5 cups of H20 or a mix of H2O & Coconut water, a mix of 2-3 handfuls of power greens or spinach, handful of Italian Parsley, grated ginger, 1/2 frozen banana, dragon fruit or berries, squeeze of lemon. It's really good and energizing!
christina wilde Awesome thank you! I'm going to give it a try.
@@jacklynmadrigal292 I think you will like it and I use Z!nt Maca organic gelatinized powder and organic Japanese Matcha (Jade Leaf).
This was very educational, thank you
I enjoyed all of your tips. Appreciate you!
I like balanced smoothies that have good amount of vegetables and the sweetness of fruits (but not too sweet)
love that!
I like a plain Greek yogurt for my morning smoothies if I'm not wanting peanut or almond butter. 😊
That's great as well! 👌🏼
I would say luck of knowing for some people! I LOVE IT, THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
Excellent vid! Thank you!
Spinach, kale, 1 apple, flax seed, carrots, celery, almond milk, 2 dates.
I loved this. I basically have been binge watching all your videos for about 6 weeks now. The pregnancy and baby videos are my fav. Watching you always have your green smoothie got me on the hype. Me and my partner have a green smoothie every morning now. This made me realise i need to mix it up with my veggies and fats!!! Thank you
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m embracing healthy lifestyle and I love this channel. And I made my malunggay smoothie today. I love it. 😊 Thank you for this info 👍🏻
ua-cam.com/video/cIWh6sWlZtw/v-deo.html
This is great and sound advice. Thumbs up!
Tofu has great protein and it adds a great creaminess
never added it to a smoothie before
Silken tofu, I've considered it! Like, in place of yogurt?
My go to smoothie:
About a cup of Greek yoghurt or soy yoghurt (unsweetened or vanilla)
Handful of redberries from our garden (frozen)
Teaspoon of sea-buckthorn juice or around three berries, again from my garden
Half tablespoon of honey
Blend together and enjoy!
Obviously, this turns out quite sour but that's how I like it and doesn't have much ingredients. I sometimes put in bananas and other berries I pick from my garden, but this is my favourite. Simple and good.
Sidenote, I live in Finland
Yes I think you said it all and made good points cuz that's how I do my smoothie
Very good and smart presentation! Thanks for the good tips. Keep up with the good job!❤
Hey smoothie Queen
You’re doing a great job, keep it up! BTW, have you heard of Irish Moss? The jell is excellent in smoothie and raw sea moss is available on amazon. I like the SEMAJ brand. I hope you’ll try it. Best regards. Liz.
where do youget the gell?
Ahh yes, she's found a pigeon !
If you purchase the dried sea moss and boil it down, blend it, you’ll have your gel. My husband is from St. Lucia and makes it all the time. It keeps for awhile if you keep it in a mason jar or something similar.
The first time I used your perfect green smoothie guide, I would have never thought to add almond butter to a smoothie. I added it with protein powder I literally was so full till lunch. Thank you for giving me the idea I would have never thought of that
for the protein choice in your smoothie guide, can I do 2 proteins or do you recommend just one protein
LOVE hearing this!!! So glad you're enjoying the green smoothie guide! For protein, you could use two if you'd like, just cut down on the portions of protein so that it's not too much.
Great advice 🍒
It is all about keeping it healthy 🥦
im a smoothie newbie! I'll start here! thanks! btw your commenters are giving me some great ideas. this should be fun!
Some of these aren’t mistakes they’re just preference is
I like adding tea as the liquid to my green smoothies
never considered adding green tea to a smoothie to avoid the taste😏
LOVE that yellow kitchen aid mixer
Great tips & ideas, thanks!! ❤
