💭 SUBSTITUTIONS

Smoothies are versatile and allow you to "choose your own adventure" when it comes to exact ingredients. I've popped down a list of ingredient substitutions and suggestions that will guide you in your smoothie mixology and help you get a delicious smoothie in your hand ASAP.

Milk: Choose a milk you actually like. Lately I've been using soy milk for all my smoothies as I find it doesn't really change the taste of the smoothie at all.

Berries: I buy a frozen mixed berries mix from my local supermarket which includes strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries but if you don't have something similar simply use your favourite berry. I've made this with just strawberries and it was still amazing.

Chia Seeds: These are my go-to smoothie booster / add-in as they thicken up the consistency and don't taste like anything. Chia seeds are rich in fibre, omega-3 fatty acids and protein, as well as rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium. BUT if you don't have them just omit them completely and add a little less milk in, or substitute for your favourite smoothie booster.

Yoghurt: I typically use either vanilla yoghurt or a slightly sweetened plain greek yoghurt in my smoothie recipes. If you are using an unsweetened plain greek yoghurt, you may wish to add a teaspoon or two of your favourite liquid sweetener. You could also use coconut yoghurt or omit yoghurt entirely.

Vegan / Dairy Free: Use your favourite non-dairy milk and use coconut yoghurt, or omit yoghurt entirely.

Fresh Vs Frozen: I love using frozen fruit and vegetables in my smoothie recipes, as I find they not only help keep the smoothie cool but also help to thicken it. I've added some info and tips for freezing your fruit and vegetables below, but if you only have fresh on hand this is absolutely fine to use.

🍴 INSTRUCTIONS

Put all ingredients in a high performance blender and blend until smooth.
Serve and enjoy!

🍓 TOP TIP - FREEZE YOUR FRUIT

Freezing fruit and vegetables not only helps make your smoothies thicker and more creamy, but it's a bonus way to stop wasting fresh produce. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's guilty of throwing away unused, spoilt fruit and veg at the end of the week.

But that all stopped as soon as I realised I could freeze my favourites and use them whenever I liked. No more waiting for bananas to ripen, or wondering how to use that whole bunch of kale in a week.

I now have a freezer stocked with ready-to-go smoothie ingredients that I can use at any time.

Here's how to freeze some of my favourite smoothie ingredients:

Freezing Bananas:

Remove the skin.
Cut into slices and place on a plate or tray.
Place plate / tray in the freezer for 1 hour until banana slices are solid.
Place banana slices in an airtight container or freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Freezing Strawberries:

Rinse the strawberries.
Cut the stems and halve them.
Place is airtight container or freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Freezing Greens (Kale, Spinach, Rocket etc):

Rinse the greens and remove as much water as possible (I use my salad spinner).
Place in an airtight container or freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tip: Buy fresh produce when it is heavily discounted just days before it's expiration date! Freeze it straight away and it will be perfect for your smoothie!
