Tip 1: If you blend for significantly longer than 90 seconds, add ice cubes or use ice cold water to keep the smoothie from heating up too much.

Tip 2: Our recipes sometimes use very fibrous leafy greens, such as wild herbs and parsley. With these ingredients, a normal kitchen blender quickly reaches its performance limit. Result: less creamy smoothies. We recommend - replace the fibrous ingredients with leafy greens that are easier to puree, such as baby spinach, lamb's lettuce or lettuce.
