Solutions for your smoothie problems
Not creamy enough
Blend in bananas, yogurt, or avocado.
Avocados make smoothies creamy without much extra flavor but add good fats to your diet.

Want extra protein?
Include yogurt, protein powder, or silken tofu.

Too thin
Add frozen fruit, ice, or chia seeds
Superfood chia seeds absorb 10 times their weight in water and also add omega-3 fatty acids to your drink. Avoid adding too much ice, as that usually takes away some of the flavor of fresh fruit.

Too thick
Pour in liquids like milk, water, or juice in small amounts.
Remember to put your ingredients into your blender in the proper order to avoid jamming the blades: liquids first, then fruits or vegetables, greens, and topped off with ice if needed.

Too sweet
Add a splash of lemon juice.

Too bitter
Stir in sweeteners like honey or agave, or extra fruit like bananas or strawberries.
