Are you a smoothie enthusiast or an amazing smoothie makin’ superhero? Maybe you’re making first attempts at creating your own smoothies (with all the awesome blender options today, wouldn’t want to give it a try?). Wherever you are in the development of smoothie-making skills, you probably know that there are endless combinations of ingredients available to whip up a yummy and nutritious creamy cup of cold deliciousness!
At MegaFood, we are totally into smoothies – like totally. So we thought we’d share a few of our favorite tips and tricks and let you know about our new Daily Nutrient Boosters™–which, in our opinion, make any smoothie better.
How to make the perfect smoothie:
1. The proper ratio for liquids to greens is 1:1 (trust us on that).
2. For the best greens blending, blend greens with liquids before adding in other bits of fun.
3. The big question: yogurt, milk, almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, juice…which is best? We say—go with your taste buds. You might even enjoy a combination of a little bit of all of them (OK, maybe not).
4. Freeze your fruit – it helps to make a smoothie cold and creamy.
5. Add in a handful fresh seasonal fruits or veggies, like juicy strawberries in the summer or fresh parsley from the garden, when possible.
6. Last but not least, add a boost! MegaFood has created four mix-in formulas that will rock your world. These precious little powders make it easy to add specialty ingredients like turmeric, artichoke and beets.
Each boost is made with pure, whole foods—there are no fillers or sweeteners. A teaspoon-sized serving has less than 10 calories and is suitable for vegetarian and paleo diets. Plus, you won’t find any gluten, dairy or soy in the mix. All you need is a tiny teaspoon and BAM, you are boosted!

MegaFood® Nutrient Booster Powders™ are a great way to elevate your smoothies, but you can also add them to fresh juice, protein shakes or any beverage you enjoy. Remember, they have no sweeteners, filler, or added flavors. You can mix them with water – many of our diehard fans do – but, it’s not for everyone. Adding a Booster to something you are already making is the most popular way to enjoy it.
