It’s near impossible to screw up a smoothie. Throw any combination of milk, fruit, nuts, and other goodies into a blender and presto: You’ve got drinkable meal.

Before we dive into our faves, here are a few pro tips to make your smoothie taste even better:

Pour in liquids first and add ice last.

Start with the lowest blender speed and work up to higher speeds once the mixture smoothes out.

Divvy up leftovers into an ice cube tray for easy blending the next time.

Top smoothies with fresh fruit, seeds, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for a texture change.

Freeze fruit for a thicker consistency. Chop first for easier blending.

Try your smoothie from a bowl if you're not in a sipping mood.
