Q & A: Secrets and Tips for a Perfect Green Smoothie

Q: Can you use frozen spinach or kale in this smoothie?

A: Yes, frozen spinach and kale can be used and even offers the benefit of cooling the smoothie without having to add ice cubes. This can be particularly handy outside of the season for these green vegetables.

Q: Can I make this smoothie more protein?

A: Absolutely. To increase the protein content, you can add 1 tablespoon of your favorite protein powder. This can be especially helpful if you're looking to make this smoothie a complete meal, especially after a workout.

Q: What is the best way to incorporate protein powder without creating lumps?

A: To avoid lumps, add liquids (like milk and yogurt) to the blender first, then the protein powder, followed by the other solid ingredients. Blend everything until smooth. If you have a powerful blender, this should be enough to avoid any lumps.

Q: Can I make portions of this smoothie in advance for the week?

A: Preparing portions in advance is possible by portioning and freezing solid ingredients (fruits, green vegetables) in individual bags or containers. When you're ready to make a smoothie, simply place the frozen ingredients in the blender, add the liquids and blend. Note that adding fresh ingredients like avocado or yogurt should be done at the time of preparation.

Q: How can I increase the fiber in this smoothie without affecting the taste?

A: To increase fiber intake without significantly changing the taste, chia seeds or oats are great options. They can be soaked in a little milk beforehand to soften them and make them easier to mix.

Q: Does this smoothie keep well for later consumption?

A: For optimal freshness, it is recommended to consume the smoothie immediately after preparation. However, if you must store it, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that separation may occur, so shake well before consuming.
