ADD-INS & SUPPLEMENT IDEAS:
You don’t have to use all of these ideas at once, just pick and choose a couple that suit your needs and taste. I’ve put an * by the ones I use.
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes* (2 Tablespoon per person)
- ¼ Cup Chia Seeds* (1 Tablespoon per person)
- ¼ Cup Hemp Protein (1 Tablespoon per person)

- Probiotics – PB8* or BioKult* (1 capsule per person – or per instructions) Adults can swallow the capsules, but mixing them into Smoothies works great for small children.
- Handful of Washed Spinach or Kale
- Sometimes we make ours a little more frozen & serve it as a Smoothie Bowl topped with Gluten Free Granola or Superfood Cereal*.
Instructions
- In Vitamix, combine all Base Smoothie Ingredients plus any Optional Ingredients – except Ice.
- Start on Variable Speed 1, working your way up to 10, then to High – Use your Vitamix tamper to help push ingredients into the blades if needed.
- Blend until all ingredients are running smoothly through the machine and everything is well blended.
- Smoothie should be thick and creamy.
- Add Ice & blend again on high — Use your Vitamix tamper to help push ingredients into the blades until all ice is smooth. Smoothie will begin to set-up & create a very thick consistency.
- Serve immediately.
