Over the years, I have madea lotof smoothies, some good, and some downright nasty.

I highly recommend a high-powered blender.

Be patient and give it time to completely liquefy.

Nobody likes clumps in their smoothie.

Don’t go overboard with ingredients.

The more you add, the more complex the taste and texture becomes.
