Five Tips for a Perfect Smoothies & Berry Lemonade

Welcome to SS&GF! Make sure to subscribe to my RSS or e-mail feed and get new recipes as soon as they're posted. You can also subscribe to my monthly newsletter here.

I’m sharing my favorite smoothie tips at The Balanced Platter. Here’s a preview:

Whenever I share a smoothie I’m drinking on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram someone asks for the recipe. When I first started drinking smoothies I used a recipe. I’ve gotten to the place where I just throw some stuff in the blender and go for it. When I hit a flavor combination I really enjoy, I take note and make it again and jot down the recipe so I can share it with you.

Smoothies Are Easy

For those of you who are new to smoothies, there are some things you can do to make sure you don’t end up with a funky texture or less than desirable flavor.

  1. Think Simply. Instead of combining a bunch of different foods you’ve never tried together, start with flavor combinations you know and love. I think about my favorite dessert flavors – cherry and chocolate, berry cobbler, apple pie – and then use those fruits in my smoothies.

Get the rest of my tips and a refreshing summer smoothie recipe at The Balanced Platter!
