Will adding leafy greens make my smoothie taste bitter or weird?

The magic is in our Perfect Blend Smoothie Formula! We start you out blending with a ratio of 1:1:1.5 (leafy greens, liquid base, fruit) for one 16 to 20-oz. serving and with this formula, you should not be able to taste the greens in your smoothie. The fruits naturally mask the taste and bananas are the perfect natural sweetener for any green smoothie packed with spinach, kale, or any other leafy green. If you're still feeling hesitant about adding greens to your smoothie, start out by using spinach as it's the most mild-tasting leafy green.

As you blend more often, you'll feel more comfortable customizing the formula to work better for you. If you’re craving more greens, add more leafy greens to your recipe. Think the smoothies taste too sweet? Decrease the amount of fruit you put in them. If you prefer your smoothies thinner, add more liquid; thicker, add less liquid and all frozen fruit. The more advanced you become (i.e., the more you blend), the more likely you are to find your tastebuds changing to crave different foods and flavors.

There truly are countless ways you can customize your recipe to create the perfect green smoothie for you, and our Perfect Blend Smoothie Formula is a great way to get started!
