Smoothie Tips

Keep peeled frozen bananas on hand for a quick smoothie anytime.

Freeze leftover fruit in zip lock bags (squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible) for a great addition to any smoothie.

Carnation Instant Breakfast adds as much nutritional value as many commercial nutritional supplements - and it tastes much better.  Add one serving to boost the nutritional content of your smoothie.

Don't be afraid of whole milk.  Whole milk is creamer and better tasting then skim and adds just 40 calories per 8oz serving (over low fat milk).  Additionally, whole milk is lower in carbohydrates and will keep you feeling fuller longer.


Use fresh or frozen juice or milk to increase the nutritional content and boost the taste.

Increase the protein level with protein powder.

Fresh or frozen vegetables such as spinach, kale, sweet peppers, pumpkin, carrots, or sweet potato add color, flavor, and nutrition to your smoothie.

Having trouble eating (for any reason) add baby food to your smoothie.

Peanut butter powder tastes great and boosts the nutritional content.
