3 Ways To Avoid Lumps In Your Smoothies

I got this email yesterday about lumpy bits:

“If I blend the greens, is it recommended to leave all the bits in my smoothie, as my blender at the moment doesn’t blend it smooth?”

This is something that I see a lot of people struggling with.

My dad said the same thing to me when he started drinking Green Thickies. He said he really liked the lumps in his smoothie.

He said it was like a lucky dip, not knowing which bit of food he’d find next.

As for me – I like my smoothies smooth.

I can’t say I’m a fan of lumpy bits.

Are you a fan of lumpy bits?

It turns out my Dad was actually using a 20 year old food processor to make his green thickies.

No wonder!

If you are struggling with lumpy bits in your smoothies, here’s 3 things I recommend to get smoother smoothies:

Make sure you’re actually using a blender with a blender jug. Not a food processor and not a hand blender. You don’t really stand a chance unless you’re actually using a blender.
Make sure you blend your greens first with just enough liquid to cover the blades. Blend it slowly until all the greens are incorporated in the water. Then add the rest of the ingredients. For anything other than a high speed blender, you may have to blend your green thickies for a lot longer. You may need around 5 minutes to get a really smooth smoothie. Make sure you add some ice at the end to cool your smoothie down or store it in the fridge.
Invest in a high powered blender. This is one of the best things I ever bought. It doesn’t matter which order you put food in, it blends it all up quickly and makes the smoothest smoothie you’ll ever taste. You can even make nut butters and frozen fruit ice cream, (bonus.) (This is the blender I use and love and you can get a special deal on a refurbished blender)

Give it a try and let me know if your smoothies are smoother?

Hi Katherine,
I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
