Tips to prepare the best smoothie

Irrespective of the recipe, choose a healthy base. It could be regular milk or even the milk of hemp, soy, coconut, cashew, or almond milk. Coconut or plain water is suitable for green smoothies. Secondly, always choose fresh fruits and veggies over store-bought packaged ones for the best nutrition benefits. Finally, go for healthy fats like almond butter or peanut butter. For garnish, chia seeds can be used. Use fat-free milk as much as possible.
