A note on your greens. The amount and type of greens you put in your smoothies is up to you. We advise that you switch up your greens as much as possible and match the quantity to your smoothie level. Beginner = 30% greens; Intermediate = 50% greens; Advanced = 60-70% greens. We’ve based the amounts above off of a Beginner smoothie.
A note on water. Water is the go-to option to use as a liquid for your smoothie. Feel free to sub it in for any other suggested liquid (like coconut water, almond milk, etc.) Best to use filtered if you can! The amount used will vary smoothie to smoothie – blend, test, and then add more water if your smoothie is too thick.
