Better late than never hopping on the smoothie train. In an attempt to make my husband eat healthier and to make sure we both get a least some fruits and veggies everyday, I searched the internet for smoothie recipes. Some additions and changes crafted some pretty tasty smoothies, if I say so myself. I would start of with perfect measurements but I always have to add more liquid which would also cause a variation in serving amounts. Consistency is subjective. My husband likes his smoothies really thin. I like mine with more texture and thickness. So, if you add too much ice, just add more milk. I also used frozen berries (some organic, some “all natural”).
