My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Freeze for Thickness 🧊
Use frozen fruit instead of ice to create a thicker, creamier smoothie without diluting the intense flavor of blueberries and cocoa.
Protein Powder Power 💪
Add protein powder last and blend quickly to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, even texture throughout the smoothie.
Cocoa Quality Matters 🍫
Choose high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder with at least 70% cocoa content for a richer, more complex chocolate flavor and increased antioxidant benefits.
Banana Ripeness Hack 🍌
Use overripe frozen bananas for natural sweetness and a smoother consistency - they blend more easily and add natural creaminess to the smoothie.
Blending Sequence Secret 🌪️
Layer ingredients from liquids to softest solids to hardest solids to ensure the smoothest possible blend and prevent air pockets.
