Equipment Needed To Make At Home
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, strawberries are a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamin C, manganese, and antioxidants like flavonoids. They’re low in calories and sugar, making them a great choice for a healthy snack or beverage ingredient.
I’d recommend limiting your fruit juice intake to about 4-6 ounces per day, especially if it’s high in sugar. While fruit juice can offer some vitamins, it lacks the fiber found in whole fruits and can be high in calories. For a balanced approach, consider diluting your juice with water or seltzer, or opt for freshly squeezed juices with no added sugar.
