Thick smoothies are a requirement in my house. So, all of the smoothies I share include ingredients that support a thick smoothie. Here are some tips and tricks that’ll help prevent your fruit from turning into juice.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cstrongu003e1. Use frozen fruit u003c/strongu003e- Fresh fruit is delicious but using frozen fruit is the best way to assure a cold, thick smoothie. If you have an abundance of fresh fruit, then freeze some (or all) of it to use for the smoothie. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cstrongu003e2. Use fruits that blend into thick and creamy smoothies. u003c/strongu003eBananas and mangos are my favorite fruits for creating thick and creamy smoothies. They have less water content and a “meatier” texture. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFruits like strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and grapes have more water and create a slushy consistency.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cstrongu003e3. Add Greek Yogurt u003c/strongu003e- Not only is Greek yogurt a great way to thicken up a smoothie, but it also adds extra protein to keep you full longer. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRemember that Greek yogurt also adds extra sugar to a smoothie, so try to choose a low-sugar yogurt-like Siggi’s and don’t use more than a ½ cup. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo keep a smoothie vegan, I recommend selecting a non-dairy yogurt.
