We’ve all been in that moment where we find a smoothie we absolutely love, we try to make it at home and it just doesn’t taste the same.

Don’t fret though, we have some simple tips to make your homemade smoothie taste just as good as the one you get in your favorite smoothie place. Soon you’ll have your go-to drink whenever you want, and at a fraction of the cost.

Tips

1.Fresh Ingredients

The most important change you can make is to use fresh ingredients, smoothie and shake shops get a daily or even twice a day supply of fresh ingredients. This makes all the difference in the world. Fresh ingredients are tastier, blend better and are also more nutritious.

The difference between a carrot smoothie made with fresh carrots or 3 day old carrots is immense. The fresher one will be sweeter and more full in texture, whereas the the 3 day old carrots will produce a more spoiled flavor and a runnier texture.

2.Quantity and Proportions

Another critical step is placing the same quantity of each ingredient, if you get your smoothies from a place that makes it on the spot (which I hope you do), then you should also pay close attention to the exact ingredients they use and the quantities.

Most places won’t have a problem telling you what’s inside if you insinuate that you may be allergic or sensitive to certain ingredients.

Next time you make your smoothie, try placing the ingredients in the same quantity and order as your go-to.

3.Invest in a Professional Blender


While the initial cost is high, a professional blender pays for itself pretty quickly if you’re buying smoothies on the daily.

Using a low power blender results in an uneven blend that leaves many ingredients as chunks on the side. Smaller and tougher ingredients like nuts and seeds will often end us as chunks that’ll get stuck in your straw or hurt your throat.

This prevents their flavors from being absorbed into the mix. So make the leap and invest in a restaurant grade blender.
