FAQs
Can I use frozen fruit in my smoothies?
Yes, frozen fruit is a great option for smoothies as it helps create a thicker consistency and can be more cost-effective than fresh fruit.
Can I make smoothies ahead of time?
Yes, you can make smoothies ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, it’s important to note that the texture and taste may change slightly over time.
Do I need a high-powered blender to make smoothies?
While a high-powered blender can make blending easier, it is not necessary to make a delicious smoothie. A regular blender or even an immersion blender can do the job just fine.
Are smoothies a good way to get in my daily servings of fruits and vegetables?
Yes, smoothies are a great way to increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. You can easily incorporate leafy greens, berries, and other fruits and vegetables into your smoothies for added nutrition.
Can I add protein powder to my smoothies?
Yes, protein powder can be a great addition to smoothies for added protein and nutrition.
Can I use water instead of milk in my smoothies?
Yes, you can use water instead of milk in your smoothies. However, using milk or a milk alternative can add creaminess and additional nutrients to your smoothie.
Are smoothies high in sugar?
It depends on the ingredients you use. If you use a lot of fruit or sweeteners like honey or agave, your smoothie may be higher in sugar. However, you can also make low-sugar smoothies by using more vegetables and less fruit.

Yes, non-dairy milk like almond milk or coconut milk can be a great option for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan.

Bake. And even though many of Tess’s smoothies and shakes taste like dessert—Apple Pie in a Glass, Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake, or Tastes-Like-Ice- Cream Kale, anyone?—her actual desserts are out-of this-world good, from Chocolate-Chile Banana Spilly to Flourless Triple-Pecan Mousse Pie and Chai Rice Pudding. Best of all, every recipe can easily be adjusted to your personal taste: add an extra squeeze of this, another handful of that, or leave something out altogether— these dishes are super forgiving, so you can’t mess them up.
