If you can think of more useful “smoothie” tips to add to the list, below, please share in the comments.

• A basic smoothie includes fruit, liquid or yogurt and ice. All you need to do is dump all the ingredients in your blender and blend on high until it’s smooth.
• If you have time, freeze your fruit before making your smoothies. Otherwise, maybe add an extra ice cube or two.
• You can use nut milk, soy milk or rice milk instead of cow’s milk.
• Most of these smoothies call for a little bit of honey (about a tablespoon), but you can also use maple syrup, or plain sugar if you prefer.
• Or, you can skip the sweetener altogether and save about 60 calories per smoothie.
• Stevia and Sucralose also work fine as honey substitutes, but I find I need to use less than a tablespoon per smoothie.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment. Sample your smoothie before you pour it into your glass — add a little more of whatever you think it needs.
