Fifty smoothie recipes, all tested in a 350ml jar. That matters more than it sounds: most smoothie recipes online are written for a 1.5-liter jug and produce roughly twice what a portable blender holds, so you end up guessing at proportions and wearing the overflow. Every recipe here gives the ingredient order that stops a blender stalling, honest prep time, and nutrition per serve.

How our recipes are written
- 350 ml, not 1.5 liters. One serving, in the jar you own.
- Loading order given every time—liquid, soft, frozen. It's why they blend rather than stall.
- Real prep time, measured, including getting things out of the freezer.
- Nutrition per serve—calories, protein, fiber, and sugar. Stated, not implied.
- No preamble. Ingredients, method, done. The story goes underneath if there is one.
- No claims. These are recipes for drinks. A smoothie is not a treatment.

Three things that improve every smoothie Column
- Freeze the fruit, skip the ice. Ice dilutes; frozen fruit thickens. Freeze bananas in chunks once they're
spotted. - Liquid first, frozen last. Then pulse three times before running. This is the whole trick.
- Add fat or protein if you want it to keep you full—a tablespoon of nut butter, yogurt, or seeds. Fruit alone empties the stomach fast.

Make it in something the right size
Every recipe here fits a 350 ml portable blender: four stainless blades, 14,000 rpm, USB-C, and you drink out of the jar, so there's one thing to rinse.
Frequently asked questions
What's a healthy smoothie made of?
A liquid base, a fruit or vegetable core, a source of protein or fat, and something for fibre — for example 150ml of milk, a frozen banana, a tablespoon of peanut butter and a handful of spinach. The protein and fat are what make it keep you full.
How much liquid goes in a smoothie?
Around 100–150ml per 350ml jar. Less and the blades cavitate instead of pulling ingredients down; more and you displace the fruit and get a thin drink.
Can you make a smoothie the night before?
You can, but it separates and loses texture within a few hours. Better: put the dry and frozen ingredients in the jar and freeze it, then add liquid and blend in the morning — about 40 seconds of work.
Are smoothies as good as eating whole fruit?
Blending breaks cell walls, so sugars are absorbed faster than from whole fruit, though the fibre is retained. Adding protein, fat or greens slows that down, which is why almost every recipe here includes at least one of the three.
Do I need a powerful blender for smoothie recipes?
For one serving, no — a 350ml blender at 14,000rpm with four stainless blades handles frozen fruit and ice. Every recipe on this site was tested in exactly that.
