Grate Solid Food Before Blending for the Best Smoothies
When you try to mix stronger fruits and vegetables into a smoothie, there are often chunks left that can clog the straw. This smoothie making trick will save you the hassle.
The next time you go to make a smoothie, The Kitchn’s Kelly Foster will ask you to get a grater . Grate foods such as apples, beets, broccoli stalks, carrots, fennel, ginger, pears, and sweet potatoes to make your delicious drink smoother. In fact, any fruit or vegetable that is not quite ripe or has a crunchy texture are good candidates. You can even do this with frozen fruit if you store the smoothie ingredients that way . This extra step ensures your smoothie has a great texture that’s easy to drink and doesn’t wear out the blender or food processor blade as quickly.
