Which blender is best for a smoothie?

I think a good high-speed blender or food processor is a great investment and will work so well at making super smooth and creamy smoothies. That said, any blender in good condition will work for this smoothie!

Can you put your smoothie in the fridge for later?

Totally! Make sure it's in an airtight container or at least covered with something airtight if it's in a glass. I recommend enjoying it within 1-2 days before the texture starts to thin and change in the fridge.

How do I adjust the thickness of my smoothie?

If your smoothie is too thick, add another splash of coconut water to help thin it out. If it's too thin, add more frozen fruit and blend again until it gets to a thickness you like!

How do I add more nutrients to this smoothie?

This is a great post-workout or breakfast smoothie, and you can definitely add more ingredients to bulk it up even more for a satiating meal replacement. I recommend a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder, more chia seeds, a scoop of cashew or almond butter, flaxseeds, and/or hemp seeds.

Notes

Smoothie thickness. I like a thick smoothie, and my recipes reflect this. If you like yours thicker, you can add more frozen fruit (I recommend adding more frozen mango as it creates more creaminess) and blend it up again. If you like your smoothies thinner, you can blend in another splash of coconut water to thin out the consistency a bit more.
Ice. Adding a couple cubes of ice to smoothies helps keep it cold and can add a slight thickness to it, but adding too much gives it an icy texture. If you like icy, then go for it! Since I like a creamy consistency, I like to rely on frozen fruit and add a max of 2-3 ice cubes.
Yogurt. Any plain yogurt you have on hand will work. Greek yogurt or skyr are the thickness and highest in protein. Nonfat, 2%, or whole milk all taste great and work beautifully, though 2% tends to be my favorite. If you're not sure what you like best, try it differently each time to find out!
