Making A Smoothie, Step 3: The Point Where Things Get Real

The Moment of Truth: Adding the Liquids

Now that you've got your fruits, veggies, and ice, it's time to add the good stuff. The stuff that makes your smoothie go from "meh" to "wow, this is actually really good!"

Here's where you add the liquids: yogurt, milk, juice, or if you're feeling fancy, a splash of grenadine. Don't be shy, now. A good smoothie is all about balance, and that means balance of liquids.

But wait, there's more! If you're feeling extra fancy, you can even add a scoop or two of protein powder. Because, you know, you're trying to be a real smoothie boss.

And don't forget, the key to a good smoothie is all about the ratio of liquids to solids. It's like the smoothie version of the 60-30-10 rule. You know, 60% of your smoothie should be liquids, 30% should be solids, and 10% should be your soul.
