- Want your smoothie to be extra nutritious? Keep your chia, flax and hemp seeds right by the blender so you never forget to add them in.
- Slice up your favourite fruits and freeze them before you add it to your drink. Frozen fruits are the ultimate hack for that thick, foamy smoothie texture.
- Top up your smoothie with nuts or granola crunch for a crunchy twist in every sip.
- Toss in a handful for spinach or kale as it disappears in flavour and leaves behind the good nutrients.
- Add a little bit of cinnamon and ginger for a flavourful kick that also boosts your metabolism.
