What will generally happen is that you’ll toss your ingredients into the container, zizz it all up for four minutes or so (it may look blended in less than that, but let the blender go a bit longer to make sure that you get all the chunks), and the smoothie will either be too thick or too watery. If the blender blades whir and whir without making a dent in any of that fruit you’ve crammed in, turn off the blender, add a little more liquid, then remove the container and give it a good shake to loosen up the ingredients. If after the first zizz, your smoothie is closer to the solid state than the liquid state, add juice, milk, soymilk, even water, then blend it all for another couple of minutes. If your smoothie resembles juice, on the other hand, thicken it up with ice, banana, frozen yogurt or ice cream, all of which will give a smoothie instant body.
