Tips for the Best Smoothie Ever
-
Use frozen fruit for that classic smoothie texture! No ice needed! Using frozen fruit eliminates the need to use any ice which can also subtly dilute the flavors of your smoothie.
-
Adjust the almond milk depending on how thick or thin you like your smoothie. If you are going for a creamier texture, then you'll need less milk. If you want to be able to drink your smoothie through a straw, then you'll need to add more milk. Adjust slowly by adding a splash in at a time and mix. Then decide whether you need more. If you add in too much liquid, you can always readjust by adding in more fruit. Experimenting to find your perfect consistency is real!

Purple Orchid Smoothie Garnish
I decided to add this in after getting questions about what kind of flower is in the smoothie.
You can take your smoothie to the next level with an edible orchid flower display!
Not only are these flowers absolutely stunning, but they're also edible and yes, truly!
They have a delicate floral aroma and a subtle, fresh taste that makes them perfect for decorating smoothies, cocktails, mocktails, and even fancy desserts.
The flower adds that instant “Wow!” factor!
It's fun to indulge at home and instantly make your smoothie like something you’d get at a beachside resort or spa café.
Simply put, the flower is an edible garnish or decoration.
I absolutely love orchids and they really do add the perfect elegant flair to any drink, smoothie or food board you add them to.
