How to Build a More Satisfying Smoothie
Smoothies are quick and convenient, but a fruit-only blend may not feel like a full meal. A few extra ingredients can make the texture, flavour and satisfaction more balanced.
A simple formula
- Fruit: banana, berries, mango or apple.
- Protein foods: yoghurt, milk, soy milk, tofu or protein powder if suitable.
- Fats: avocado, nut butter, chia seeds or flaxseed.
- Greens: spinach, kale or a small amount of green powder.
Example blend
Blend banana, frozen berries, Greek-style yoghurt, milk, spinach and a spoonful of chia seeds. Adjust liquid to your preferred thickness.
