recipes, and if your blender is perhaps not as powerful or effective as you like, you should blend those nuts or seeds first with water to make a milk. Then, without straining the pulp out you add your other ingredients and blend again.
However, if you have a good blender you may only need to pop everything into the jug at one time, put the lid on and press the go button!
What Do I Do If The Blend Is Not Smooth Enough?
If your smoothie doesn’t look or feel smooth enough then re-blend. Sometimes you will crave or enjoy a smoothie that is not completely smooth. You can pulverize your ingredients without blending them into a creamy consistency if you wish. Remember you can add dates, cacao nibs, dried figs, apricots or raisins right at the end (instead of along with the other ingredients). It’s really enjoyable to have a tiny speck of texture that provides a different consistency and flavor burst. See what you enjoy.

About Drinking And Storing Your Smoothie
How Long Can You Keep Them?
If your smoothie is kept cool you can keep them all day. Maybe you can take your smoothie to work (or school or wherever you’re going) in a mason or other jar.
The taste of a smoothie may change over time. Usually they are very good throughout the day. I have experimented with keeping aside smoothies to try the next day and some are great and others have lost that certain ‘something’.
Consume your smoothie the same day you make it. They should be kept covered (in an airtight container if possible) to reduce the amount of oxidation of the ingredients.
How Long To Drink It (Gulp It Down?)
Smoothies are wonderful to linger over. Rather than gulping them down you can really enjoy every mouthful. Take your time. These potions can last you for a few hours if you like. Some people put them in a jar and take them to work to either have as a meal or to sip on throughout the morning.
We have really been conditioned to eat too quickly. Take this chance to slow it down (if you have that luxury).
Some smoothies I have made with stronger greens such as mustard leaves tend to develop a stronger taste the longer the smoothie sits. It is great if you like a spicy smoothie. Just be warned because it could take you by surprise if you enjoy taking your time drinking your smoothies!
Drinking Your Smoothie Cold – Is Too Cold Bad?
What temperature you ask! Well, you have to find a happy medium between too warm and too cold and icy. How you like a smoothie will also depend on the type that you are making and the weather.
For the most part, I personally don’t like my smoothies too cold unless it’s summer. An icy smoothie will appear less sweet and it will appear to have less flavor.
Smoothies that are too warm CAN be a little cloying or icky (for want of a better word). It will always depend on what you put in them. For example a salad type of smoothie that has little sweetness, is definitely better taken ‘cool to cold’. Maybe you will have more tolerance for a warmish dessert style or pudding type smoothie.
All the recipes use 1 cup of water to start. Follow the directions and then make your final adjustments with water and ice. If you’re unsure taste your smoothie out of the jug with a spoon. In doing so you’ll sample its consistency and its temperature. You’ll know whether you need or want to add ice or more water and in what quantity.
The Best Way To Drink Your Smoothies
You can drink, spoon or sip a smoothie. Use a spoon or a straw or simply pick up your glass and enjoy it. Drink it slowly enough for your enzymes to start working in the mouth and to avoid indigestion. These blends are sustainable energy in a glass. They will fill you up in a satisfying way. Just like anything you should never eat or drink too fast.
