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.

Equipment

  • Blender

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)

Instructions
 

  • Put all the frozen fruit in blender. Add the juice and blend. You may need to add more juice to get your desired consistency.
  • 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.
  • Continue to blend, adding additional juice as needed to achieve the desired thickness.
  • Put your smoothie in a large glass or mason jar (there will be a lot) and insert a straw.
  • 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.
