Cooking Tip
If the ingredients are too cold in the blender, an air pocket will form; balance it out by adding a little more liquid until desired consistency.
Try with any smoothie recipe, just decrease the liquid to about 1⁄4 cup or the least amount possible to make the blender churn and give it a thick consistency.
Add 1 cup of any greens to a smoothie bowl as an easy way to increase veggies for the day.
