To reach the perfect consistency, use more fruits or vegetables. One can also use rolled oats to increase consistency. Adding rolled oats also enhances the taste of the smoothie, and this is a complete filler.
- Reduces the number of ingredients: using a lesser amount of ingredients helps in focusing on the main ingredient; it also makes the beverage more flavorsome—use of only one or two fruits or vegetables. Make the use of banana must. Using banana in every kind of smoothie meets the requirement of natural sweetness in the drink.

Pulse helps in blending the smoothie perfectly.
- Make use of a spatula: while making a smoothie take small pauses to mix the smoothie. It will mix the ingredients well enough. Also, do this 3-4 times while making the smoothie and always scrape down from the blender’s sides with a spatula.
