Did you know? How to make the perfect thick smoothie: 1. Start with less liquid. (Try 1/2 cup to start) 2. Add ice. (About 4-6 cubes) 3. Include a frozen fruit. (1/2-1 whole frozen banana is a great creamy thickener) 4. Add the rest of your ingredients. 5. PULSE FIRST. This is key. (Pulse about 5-6 times to break up ingredients) 6. Initiate blend cycle, but stop right when everything seems blended! 7. If needed, add a bit more liquid, shake it up and repeat steps 5 + 7. Enjoy!
