Smoothies are all about finding that perfect ratio of fruit to liquid. That’s why you’ll see in our basic smoothie recipe, we have about 1 cup of liquid to 2 cups of frozen fruit.

Smoothie Bowl Recipes
3 easy smoothie bowl recipes that come together in less than 10 minutes. Choose from: strawberry smoothie bowl, green smoothie bowl, or peanut butter banana smoothie bowl.
What goes in a smoothie recipe?
One unique thing about our smoothie recipes, is that we do not use ice. Instead, we use a 2:1 ratio of frozen fruit to liquid.
- 2 cups frozen fruit (banana, strawberries, mixed berry, pineapple, tropical blend, etc.)
- 1 cup liquid (orange juice, almond milk, coconut water, coconut milk, water)
We say 2:1 with a grain of salt because everyone has their own preference. Some people like to drink smoothies with a straw and others like it thick enough to be eaten with a spoon. So, start with 1 cup of liquid and add more as you wish.
In addition to the 2:1 ratio of fruit to liquid, you can also add other ingredients such as protein powder, greens, Greek yogurt, seeds, etc.
Best Blender for Smoothies
We have a Vitamix and it runs you about $350 on Amazon. I do not have a single bad thing to say about this beast. It’s super powerful, easy to clean, and it makes making smoothies along with other things a breeze. I can tell you right now that this is the best blender I have ever owned and there’s no turning back.
If you’re looking for something a bit smaller and the perfect size for smoothies, we recommend the Beast Blender. We actually just got it a few months ago and it works like a charm and is much cheaper than the Vitamix.
Our Favorite
Beast Blender
The Beast Blender is our go-to blender for smoothies, dips, soups, and everything in between. It’s the perfect size and moderately priced. Oh, and oh-so powerful!

Don’t forget about the toppings. If you’re anything like me, you don’t skimp when it comes to toppings. Here are some of my favorites:
- Homemade peanut butter

- nuts: almonds, walnuts, cashews
- seeds: flax or chia
- fresh fruit: berries, banana slices, etc.

These factors are necessary for everyone. They are also the foundation of any effective exercise program of prevention.
I’ve read this article. Till now, I was just limited to Apple, Banana, and Cucumber smoothie. But, you this article has opened many ways for me. In India, we can get fruits very easily at a cheap price. So, this Sunday, really thinking to make something delicious using my newly purchased hand blender. Thanks for the great article.
