When I get home from the market, I put my greens ( usually Kroger power greens) in sandwich bags (2 cups per) and pop them in the freezer. If I don't do this, I frequently lose some greens when they become slime. I agree with you that every smoothie needs greens. For me it is 2 cups in every smoothie.

I'm really new to the smoothie game. This video was extremely helpful! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. Glad you brought up the “ over sweetening”. I’m new to the crafting of smoothies here’s were I need some counsel. The research I’ve done most seem to be sweet. I’d rather drink a V8 rather then a taste of ice cream. If you, or others can direct me in some recipes that may lean towards the V8 taste I’d greatly appreciate it.

I make green smoothies almost every day and I sweeten them with a spoonful of orange juice concentrate. It may be too much sugar but I feel that since I really pack in lots of kale and spinache in my smoothies that it's worth it to make it more palateable. Over time I will try to decrease the amount of oj however.

MAKING YOUR OWN ALMOND MILK IS EASY, CHEAP, AND HAS NO ADDITIVES!!

I love the ideas. This is what I needed to hear about being satiated on a balanced healthy smoothie. As for adding sugars I'm gonna gradually reduce that because I'm the type that won't drink it if it's not sweet or tasty. I've got myself into a jam with sugar addiction so I'm gonna ween off of it gradually using honey and other natural sugars until I'm straight.

Thank you so much for these tips!

Great video! I make smoothies at work for people and hear a lot of weird requests. Everyone is in a different stage I guess but your advice was dead on 👍
