|---|---|---|
| Vanilla | Mixed berries, mango, or peaches | A versatile starting point with room for the fruit |
| Chocolate | Banana or cherries | A richer, cocoa-forward smoothie |

A simple fruit smoothie formula
-
Pour your liquid
Start with about 1 cup of cold water, milk, or your preferred milk alternative. Follow your blender’s directions for ingredient order.
-
Add fruit and Grow
Add about 1 cup of frozen fruit and one labeled serving of Grow. Use the serving weight on your bag when measuring.
-
Blend, then fine-tune
Blend until combined. Add liquid a tablespoon at a time if it is too thick; add a little more frozen fruit if you want it thicker. Taste before adding sweetener.
This is a starting ratio, not a tested nutrition recipe. Blender strength, fruit, and liquid all change the result. Grow contains milk even when you mix it with water or plant milk.
