You can also use your frozen fruit that we talked about last week . Here are a few short steps to making a refreshing ice-cold healthy smoothie at home: 1. Decide what fruit you want to make your smoothie. It can be one type of fruit or a combo of your choice. 2. Decide what liquid you want. Water or fruit juice works very well, but if you want to add calcium to your flavorful health drink, milk and yogurt work. Feel free to use tea or soy –experiment and have fun! Typically you would add ice to a smoothie, but if your fruit is pre-frozen, it is unnecessary to use ice. Adding fruit juice is a good option, but remember to be aware of the sugar content of any fruit juice you are adding to your smoothie. 3. Add some green. Spinach, kale, celery or any other green adds some great nutritional balance. The best part is, you won’t taste them – since they blend in so well, you will barely notice they are in your drink. 4. Sweeten. Not that you really need to sweeten fruit, since it already tastes great. But if you like to add something special to it, you can use honey, peanut butter, coconut shavings, chopped almonds or a teaspoon of vanilla extract. 5. Blend your ingredients - Of course, you already knew that part, but look for the button that says: smoothie, puree or shake. The process should only take a minute. Once it is done, let your drink sit for a minute and enjoy your delicious healthy drink for your summer cool down. Summer is beautiful but it can be long without a proper way to cool down. Next time you need to reach for something cold and tasty to drink, think about doing your body a favor and whip out an ice cold smoothie loaded with vitamin and fiber for you and the kids. There is no reason we can’t be happy and healthy at the same time.

Learn More »While they're delicious and easy to make, people sometimes put fully frozen fruits in the blender. This can result in lumpy smoothies and, in some cases, can cause the sharp blades to crack and break. Leave frozen fruits out in the fridge to thaw or put them in a Ziploc bag and thaw in a bowl of water before blending.
istock/robertdaly Strong flavors/odors Anything with a really strong flavor (garlic, chilies, etc.) may affect the rubber seal of the blender and taint future things that you blend. You may have noticed this when you put raw garlic in your blender when making that steak marinade, and then still had the flavor in your morning smoothie even after washing the container out! istock/nicks Too little or too much liquid When the machine is running and you have to add liquid, do it slowly to avoid surging motor or splashing. The ratio of liquid to solids must be right. Not enough liquid and the blender will make some things lumpy; too much liquid and the blades won’t come into contact with the solid.
