Step by Step Instructions

1. Prepare the fruit or vegetables. In most cases it's best to freeze the fruit beforehand so the drink will be frosty.

2. Add both ingredients per smoothie to a blender. You might have to add milk of your choice to help your blend process but I suggest you start with 1 tablespoon at a time as to not over liquify your drink.

3. Taste your smoothie, and decide whether it needs more sweetening. If so, add date paste by the tablespoon or more fruit.

4. Boost your smoothie by adding anything from the list below. Process again, and enjoy the smoothie.

Make Ahead & Storage

You can make these smoothies 2 days ahead and keep them refrigerated. If you want to keep them longer, pour them into ice cube trays, freeze, and toss 4-5 cubes in a glass the night before, refrigerate it overnight and stir the smoothie the next morning. Here is my smoothie cubes recipe post to give you more detail on that process and 6 new smoothie cube recipes.

For healthy fats, add avocado, coconut butter or nut butter. Add 1-2 tablespoons of each per smoothie.

For healthy protein, add white beans, chickpeas, yogurt and tofu. Add about ¼ cup per smoothie to add up to 5 grams of protein per smoothie.

For vegetables, add carrots, cucumber, zucchini, cauliflower, leafy greens, or pumpkin puree, about ¼ cup per smoothie.

Boost with oats. Add 2 tablespoons of rolled oats, or make overnight oats and add 2 tablespoons of those per smoothie. Need an overnight oats recipe? Here is a set of 7 Overnight Oats Recipes!
