The Ultimate Thick Smoothie

I like my smoothies thick, perfect for a filling smoothie or a smoothie bowl. Adjust to your taste or allergies as desired. This makes quite a lot of smoothie, technically enough for two, but if you want this as a main meal, it's still a large amount.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup frozen peaches
  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 cup frozen mangos
  • 1/4 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup frozen cherries
  • 2 cups juice (I like the Simply Nature Organic Gold Fusion 100% Juice, but anything that's 100% juice will work)
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter or peanuts (optional, for a smoothie which is more filling, protein-filled, and calorie-dense)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for a smoothie which is more filling, protein-filled, and calorie-dense)
  • 3 tbsp sweetened shredded coconut (optional, for a smoothie which is more filling and calorie-dense)
  • 1 square dark chocolate (optional, for a smoothie which is more filling and calorie-dense)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla-flavored Greek Yogurt (optional, for a smoothie which is more filling and calorie-dense)

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Put all the frozen fruit in blender. Add the juice and blend. You may need to add more juice to get your desired consistency.
  2. Once it is partially blended (it will take a while depending on your blender and any alterations you may have made), add any of the optional ingredients you please.
  3. Continue to blend, adding additional juice as needed to achieve the desired thickness.
  4. Put your smoothie in a large glass or mason jar (there will be a lot) and insert a straw.
  5. Alternatively, you can put your smoothie in a bowl, and instead of blending the nuts, chia seeds, and coconut into the smoothie, you can sprinkle them on the top for an aesthetically pleasing smoothie bowl.
