Tips that make the difference
What separates a recipe that works from one that falls flat.
Freeze ripe fruit
Sliced bananas, strawberries, mango: frozen, they make thick smoothies, no ice needed.
Liquid first
Pour the liquid into the blender first: the blades spin more easily and nothing sticks.
A banana for creaminess
It thickens and sweetens naturally: no need to add sugar.
Drink it right away
A smoothie oxidizes and separates quickly: make it just before you drink it.
The smoothie formula
For 1 large glass: a liquid, some fruit, something creamy, and that's it.
| Ingredient | Amount | For example |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid | 150 to 200 ml (about 2/3 to 3/4 cup) | Milk, plant-based milk, orange juice, coconut water |
| Fruit | 150 to 200 g (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups) | Strawberries, mango, peach, frozen mixed berries |
| Creamy | 1 banana or 1 yogurt | For a thick, velvety texture |
| Extras (optional) | 1 spoonful | Honey, rolled oats, peanut butter, seeds |
Frozen fruit stands in for ice cubes: the smoothie is cold and thick without being watered down.

Your questions
What's the base of a good smoothie?
A liquid (milk, plant-based milk, juice), fruit and something creamy (banana or yogurt): about 3/4 cup (200 ml) of liquid for 1 1/2 cups (200 g) of fruit.
Can I make a smoothie the night before?
It's best to drink it right away. If you need to, keep it in the fridge in a full, tightly sealed bottle for up to 24 hours, and shake before drinking.
How do I make a smoothie without banana?
Swap it for yogurt, mango, avocado or a few rolled oats: they give the same creamy texture.
