Customize Your Drink

Our recipes are fabulous, but maybe you’d like to customize a drink that’s all your own! Don’t be afraid to experiment. Check out our suggestions for creating your own signature nutrient extract juice! (All recommendations based on a 12-ounce beverage.)

Make it Thicker

Try adding one of these ingredients for a creamier drink and to boost the nutrition profile as well:

1/4 ripe banana
2 tablespoons avocado

If you think avocados are only for guacamole, think again! Ideal for greens drinks, avocado adds good-for-you monounsaturated fat with only 50 calories for 2 tablespoons. Florida avocados (the larger, smooth skinned ones) have slightly fewer calories and fat compared to the smaller California varieties.

1/4 tablespoon chia seeds

In white and black varieties, chia seeds are a nutrient powerhouse. Rich in protein, these tiny seeds deliver potassium, magnesium, calcium, and manganese. Chia seeds are also one of the best plant sources of omega-3 fats and can contribute to your daily fiber needs in a big way. Their ability to absorb liquid is what thickens the drink, but don’t use more than the recommended amount — your drink will turn into a gel! Add chia seeds in with other ingredients before blending, or make a chia gel that you can keep on hand in the fridge and use as needed.

How to Make a Chia Gel

Combine 4 tablespoons chia seeds with 2 cups water or other liquid, such as coconut water. Voila – after 10-15 minutes you’ll have a gel! Use a tablespoon or two of gel to thicken drinks to your desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate for up to one week.

Make it Thinner

The thickness of a blended drink will depend on a few factors, such as whether or not ice is used, and whether the fruit is fresh or frozen. If your smoothie isn’t sip-able, you can add one of these healthful ingredients to thin it down just a bit.

. 2 tablespoons green tea or chamomile tea
. 2 tablespoons of coconut water
. Add a small amount of a high-moisture food, such as celery, lettuce, cucumber, lemon or lime
. Add some water—important to re-hydrate!
. Unsweetened almond milk to add richness—great with tropical fruits!
