Using Fresh Fruit for Smoothies

Avoid using fresh fruit and adding ice to your smoothies, which results in a thinner, watered-down texture. Use frozen fruit instead.

Also, make sure to incorporate a protein source, such as healthy nut butters to make the drink more satiating. And whatever you do, don't add sugar—fruits have all the sweetness you need.
