Smoothie making tips
We actually created a full blog post about How to Make Delicious Smoothies. You can read the full post to get some extra tips and ideas. Essentially you want to layer your smoothie with all the ingredients and be sure to use a high-powered blender.
Expert home cook tips
A high powered blender really does make a difference, especially when you add veggies to your smoothies. If you’ve ever made a smoothie and ended up with little bits or chunks of spinach or kale in your smoothie, you know what I’m talking about! It’s no good. Nobody wants the texture of veggies in their smoothie, and definitely nobody wants to end up with spinach between their teeth. So…we definitely recommend using a high powered blender – something like a Blendtec or Vitamix – and you’ll get a nice and creamy consistency every time.
We hope you love this recipe as much as we do!

I’m new to smoothies what does it mean “not in new container”?
Sorry, that note was no longer relevant. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, the recipe is updated now.
This recipe is amazing! I added some frozen cauliflower for more creaminess and collagen peptides for protein. A fantastic start to my morning!
Sounds delicious, glad you enjoyed it!
If this makes two servings, can I refrigerate the other half and drink it later? Or should I just half the recipe?
Either way should be fine! It might need a good shake or a quick re-blend when you go to drink the refrigerated half. Let us know how it goes!
Easy to make and decent taste, however, I found the 1.5 cups of almond/coconut milk too much. I’m going to cut down to 1 c (half c of each) , add 2 ice cubes and see if that’s better. I appreciate the awesome recipies!
So good, smooth great “morning” coffee.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for trying and for coming back to share! We really appreciate it! 🙂
I used oat milk and a dash of cinnamon! So yummy and I’ll make again!
Just as good as I expected from RSG! I love it and have already made it a few times. The only thing I added was a little ice because my coffee was only room temp.
Glad you liked this one Marcie!
