"A rich and fruity smoothie can be quite the wholesome treat. With so many delicious recipes and combinations to choose from, there are a few important tips to keep in mind when building up your smoothie base. For a superior smoothie texture, start with a pair of frozen fruits that will take you far. Both blueberries and peaches contain a wealth of vitamins and nutrients, and using frozen versions of each will guarantee an ideal consistency for your next smoothie."
"When it comes to the matter of fresh versus frozen blueberries or peaches, it's worth considering your intended result. Because frozen fruits are firmer, they blend up for a more sorbet-like consistency. Using frozen fruits in lieu of combining fresh varieties with ice will also keep your smoothie thicker and less watery. Further, if fresh peaches and blueberries aren't in season, frozen fruits are an option you can enjoy all year long."
"You can make a perfectly simple smoothie starting with frozen blueberries and peaches and combining these ingredients in a blender alongside a portion of milk, almond milk, or the liquid of your choosing. Amp this up by adding a handful of fresh or frozen spinach for more vitamins, including A, C, K1, and iron. For extra protein and fiber, try including chia seeds or flaxseeds."
Frozen blueberries and peaches provide a thick, sorbet-like smoothie base and deliver vitamins and nutrients. Frozen fruit yields firmer texture than fresh and prevents watery results that can come from adding ice. Frozen peaches and blueberries remain available year-round when fresh fruit is out of season. A simple blend with milk, almond milk, or preferred liquid creates a basic smoothie. Adding spinach increases vitamins A, C, K1 and iron. Including chia or flaxseeds boosts protein and fiber. Vanilla protein powder complements the pairing for a peaches-and-cream flavor and many other ingredient combinations work well.
