  • Frozen bananas eliminate the need for ice and make it thick enough to stand a straw in
  • Over-blending can make smoothies warm and thin, stop as soon as it looks smooth
03 -
  • Let your blender run for an extra 10 seconds after it looks done to eliminate any icy chunks
  • Rinse the blender immediately with warm water and soap, dried smoothie is a nightmare to clean
