Fruit Blend Smoothie Mix

Cooking with smoothie fruit mix is relatively straightforward, however, people often become unsure when it comes to the ratio of fruit to liquid, or adding extra ingredients. Understanding how to correctly balance the liquid and fruit makes the difference between a perfectly smooth and refreshing drink or a chunky, watered down shake. While pre-made mixes are convenient, they may also limit creativity as you are stuck with the fruits that have been pre-selected by the mix's manufacturer. Another common issue is that people often over sweeten their smoothies by adding an excess of sweet liquid, honey, or sugar. Keep in mind, fruits in the mix are naturally sweet and in most cases additional sweeteners may not be necessary. Lastly, while smoothies can be nourishing, they should be consumed responsibly. It's easy to over consume calories when drinking your nutrients as opposed to eating them. Plus, some essential dietary fibers can be lost in blending process. Few helpful hints for a perfect smoothie: 1. Use frozen fruit mix: It provides a thicker texture and chill to your smoothie. 2. Blend in steps: Start with the greens and liquid first and then add fruits to ensure a smoother consistency. 3. High-speed blender: It's a good investment for smoother and creamier smoothies. 4. Flavour Boosters: Boost the taste of your smoothie by incorporating flavor enhancers like spices, extracts or zest. 5. Portion Control: Keep an eye on your portions to avoid over consuming calories.
