Why is my smoothie so fluffy?

If you find lots of foam after your blend, it's typically coming from the type of fruit or leafy greens you add to your green smoothies. The reason for this is insoluble fiber which is usually found in the skin of fruits and vegetables. ... Your green smoothie will usually separate as well.

How can I make my blender work better?

How to use a blender

1. Solid foods should be cut into small pieces.
2. Make sure the lid is securely on before operating.
3. Begin processing on the lowest speed setting, then ramp up as needed.
4. Don't leave the blender unattended–the lid can fly off.

How do I stop air pockets in blender?

The issue of cavitation—when your blender gets stuck because of a big air bubble—is one that can literally stop you in your tracks. To prevent lock-up, be sure to keep a good balance between the ice (or any frozen food) and the liquid that you're combining. You can also use the "Pulse" feature to dislodge it.

How do you make a blender last longer?

In order for your container to keep looking new and fresh, clean it right after you use it. Wash it in warm soapy water or run the blender at high with the same. Rinse the machine and then repeat as many times as necessary to get all the dirt out.

What order do you put stuff in blender?

Start by adding the yogurt, or a base liquid such as water, juice, or milk, to the blender. Next, put in smaller ingredients, like diced mango, and top off the blender with larger ones, such as hulled strawberries and ice cubes.

Are smoothies better with water or milk?

Water or milk — To help the ingredients blend, I like adding a splash of liquid to the blender. For a smoothie without milk, use water. It still tastes amazing. For more creaminess use milk (dairy or non-dairy both work).

Can I put frozen fruit in a blender?

While they're delicious and easy to make, people sometimes put fully frozen fruits in the blender. This can result in lumpy smoothies and, in some cases, can cause the sharp blades to crack and break. Leave frozen fruits out in the fridge to thaw or put them in a Ziploc bag and thaw in a bowl of water before blending.
