5 Steps to make a Perfect Smoothie:
1. Put the fruit in the blender first. Make sure that the items are smaller than a golf ball so they will blend completely. Then add the liquid ingredients.
2. Fasten the lid and press the start button. Use high speed for about 20 to 30 seconds.
3. Stop the blender and check to see if the ingredients are well blended. Sometimes the frozen fruit will jam under the blade. If there is jammed fruit, use a spatula to remove the fruit, and blend again.
4. Once the mixture is evenly blended, slowly add two ice cubes through the opening of the blender lid. Keep adding one or two ice cubes at a time until the blender sounds smooth instead of gravelly. If your blender is not strong enough to blend ice cubes, replace ice with just enough ice cold water so that the shake will have a milkshake
consistency.
5. If the shake/smoothie is too thin, add more fruit or ice. If it is too thick,
add more liquid.
