Thanks so much for the reply, we will try that the next time. Didn’t wanna change anything with the recipe, because I’m just trying to make sure I keep things as healthy as possible…as I’m still learning about being and eating healthy
We’re so happy you tried it! One of the things we encourage others to do with our recipes is to make them their own. Everyone’s taste is different so take a recipe and tweak it to fit your taste buds. For example, you could add coconut flakes to this recipe to give it more of a coconut flavor. :) Happy blending!
Ok will do
Good for you! Another thing you can try without adding any calories or sugar is coconut extract.
Not specific to this smoothie but I just recently purchased my blendtec 625, the smoothies i make crush any added ice into total obliteration. My husband prefers the slushy yet crunchiness of his smoothies gained by adding ice. I have tried to lessen the time from the 40 second standardized smoothie button to a pulsed 20 seconds but then I run the risk of my ingredients not blending. Any recommendation on how to get a blended smoothie with crunchy ice? should i add ice after fact?
I’m not much on artificial sweeteners. Would this work without the Stevia????
Yes, blend all other ingredients first and then pulse in the ice to desired consistency :)
Can i use frozen strawberries for this?
Absolutely! You can either omit the stevia or use a different sweetener (honey, agave, dates, etc.). Every one has different taste buds and dietary preferences so do what is best for you :) Happy blending!
just got my 475. How do you get the thick consistency of a smoothie. My wife wants it so a straw stands up. If I use frozen fruit I should eliminate ice. If I defrost frozen fruit over night, do vou then add ice? One last thing, the recipes are based on one serving? Do I just double to get two servings?
Yes! You shouldn’t need the ice if you use frozen strawberries so you can leave that out. Happy blending!
If you look under "NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION" above it will give you the number of servings. This recipes, for example, has (3) servings of 8 oz. To get the desired consistency, add more frozen (whether it’s fruit or ice) until it’s the thickness you want.
My 8 year old son with a little of my help just made this one. He said it tasted good, but smelled bad…lol. I felt the taste was good as well, but was disappointed that it didn’t taste more like coconut.
that’s right!
