    What can you add to your smoothie to thicken it?

    You can thicken your smoothie with frozen fruit, frozen bananas, oats, chia seeds, silken tofu, yogurt and avocados. However, one of our favorite ways to thicken smoothies that is a lower in carbs than frozen bananas is frozen berries and a few dollops of Homemade coconut whipped cream. In addition, you can add a sugar alternative of choice like stevia if you need to make coconut whipped cream diabetic friendly. Using all frozen berries and skipping the frozen cherries is also lower in carbs.

    Berry Cherry Smoothie Blast Tips for Success

    Don’t add ice:

    If you use frozen berries, you smoothie will be very thick. Ice just waters down your smoothie. In addition, don’t use frozen berries or ice if you have a weak spleen. Be sure to review our Feed your Spleen: Nourish your body post to learn why eating cold iced drinks is not the best for your body. It is best to eat food and drinks at room temperature, so your body does not have to work so hard to heat up the nutrients to get them to your already pre-dispositioned body constitution. Fresh berries are in season, so enjoy the seasons bounty.

    Make it with dairy or dairy free

    Homemade Coconut Whipping cream and almond milk is a great alternative to make your smoothie rich and smooth without all tummy issues if you are lactose intolerant. If you are not lactose intolerant, feel free to use fresh dairy whipped topping, yogurt or milk. You can also use a frozen banana to thicken your smoothies.

    Keep in Low in Sugar or Sugar Free

    If you are making your own homemade coconut whipping cream, you can use stevia or sugar alternatives of choice to lightly sweeten. When you use a frozen ripened banana, there is no need to add any sugar as it is naturally sweet from the banana.

    Frequent Asked Questions (FAQ's)

    Are smoothies better with water or milk or juice?

    It depends on your preference. If you like a more creamy smoothie, opt for a dairy or non-dairy. If you are watching calories, opt for water. However, if you want a little punch of flavor, try juice.

    Is it better to use frozen fruit for a smoothie?

    It depends, if your goal is to make your smoothie thicker then add frozen fruit to make a thick and delicious smoothie. However, if you suffer from a weak spleen qi, it is best not to use frozen fruit but fruit at room temperature. In addition, do not add ice to your smoothies. The reason being is that your body has to work very hard to heat up your food to digest it if you are already in a compromised state.

    What is the best way to blend a smoothie?

    Using a high powered blender is preferred for making a thick and rich smoothie. Start your blender on low and then increase up to high for about 2 minutes or until it is well blended.

    Instructions

    • Blend frozen berries, cherries, coconut whipped topping (or frozen banana), milk or dairy alternative of choice, and orange zest in food processor until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!

    Notes

    If you prefer, you can use one frozen banana as an exchange for the ½ cup homemade coconut whipped topping. However, if you are trying to stay low carb, then we suggest using the homemade coconut whipped topping lightly sweetened with a sugar alternative of choice, like stevia. In addition, to keep this smoothie lower carb, replace the frozen cherries with all mixed berries which are lower carb. We only like our smoothies lightly sweetened. If you need yours’s sweeter, you can add a little sweetener of choice. (honey, frozen banana, stevia, date paste, organic coconut sugar, etc.)
