FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT HAVE A $400 BLENDERRRR

[@erinbroin9885]

Sam A what blender does she use

[@wynterlevi7431]

My Vitamix was 260$. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@temeparareihana4116]

Erin Broin ninja

[@LeahDada]

I have a hand blender 😭

[@amy101_dolphin9]

Erin Broin idk what she uses but magic bullet from the Best Buy website is pretty good!

[@lara3867]

So frozen ingredients are the trick to make it thick?

[@Nicole_TheNomad]

Lara :3 YES! And just the right amount of liquid ☺️

[@audri2145]

Ilyssa Mansss step 1 is too add a lite milk of any choice then all your frozen fruits or vegetables and add protein powder if u want. Next screw the bottle on the blender if u have a really strong blender like nutriblend or another really strong blender the trick is once you put it on the blender only blend for like 5 seconds open the bottle then scrape everything down with a utensil put it to blend again and repeat this process if u still have some chunks add a little more milk or scrape out the already blended fruit and blend the chunky fruits by itself then take it out and mix those together after put it in a bowl and feel free to add any topping of your choice.hoped this helped!😋😊

[@audri2145]

Ilyssa Mansss oh and check out Ashley Wickas video on how to make thick smoothie bowls.but both Nicole and Ashley’s videos are so helpful!!

Set fruit aside 10 minutes before adding to blender, blends much easier.

[@chasitypatrick7570]

Fatma Obaid Khalifa Mohammad AlShamsi It has to be frozen if your setting it aside.

[@puppys246dogs9]

but then it’s not nearly as thick

@@Nicole_TheNomad is there a yeti blender with just the smoothie setting? I’m trying to find one that’s less expensive because I don’t need all the other gadgets on it. Is there one with JUST the blender cup? Different brand or not, I just want to know how to make my smoothies just as good as yours! Thank you!

[@helenal652]

smoothie bowls are healthy ice cream btw thanks!! i wanted to make a strawberry one but every video i said i needed to use bananas

[@sharyhonner2993]

i had the same problem, but replace the banana with yoghurt as it gives the same creamy texture

[@helenal652]

shary honner oh thank you! I’ll try💜

[@julianamcgann1949]

helena you can use frozen mango instead or less watery frozen fruit

[@skellaberry]

what I do is use a mix of yogurt and milk instead cause I don’t like bananas

[@talaalshafie]

can i use frozen avocado instead of frozen bananas?

[@glorxiiaa1654]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO TELLS THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CLEARLY || WE STAN A CLEARLY EXPLAINER

Sometimes I also put the blended smoothie back into the freezer (still in the blending cup) for 10-15min, then blend again and that thickens it up a lot too 🍦

SAME!

Ktube ninja or vitamix? When my vitamix overheats usually takes about 5 min. My ninja has never stopped on me!

[@dirtyyogurt1565]

I made a smoothie bowl once and I ended up drinking it with a straw 😂

[@ronnie-lynn]

The best treat option instead of artificial ice cream too mmmmm

[@Nicole_TheNomad]

Yaaas I agree!!

[@cutie4417]

If you dont have a tamper ("puncher") i would really recommend using a wodden spoon to crush down the lumps this way the smoothie will be a LOT smoother instead of adding more liquid because of chunks if you add more liquid it will become runny and it may still have chunks and lumps

[@momma_nomad]

I love smoothies!

How I make mine thick since i dont have that fancy punch bleading thing is i use some bananas witch u dont even tastes unless u add like the whole banana and almond milk to then I usually add peaches and strawberries and blueberries!!❤🤣

[@cheerfulcloud6630]

is basically a healthy delicious soft serve

[@saskiahagendoorn9996]

l use a food processor because it blends really well my smoothies are quite thick and creamy when l use it. l also have a ninja but l prefer to use the food processor. So people who are reading this if you have a food processor you should try making a smoothie bowl in it (:

[@vanya7328]

Omg thank you so much I used to use ice

[@lillianjulius1371]

Keeping it real. Not all can afford a vitamix. One can get same results with a food processor, without any liquid just exercise patience. I have seen it done. Love from the UK☺

Ive always used frozen fruit for smoothie bowls, I use a vitamix, I only use the smallest bit of liquid and it turns out SUPER runny!! Absolutely no hate I just need help lol!! ❤️💖💗💓😂😂

[@emmabennett8338]

Personally half a cup of liquid tends to be too much, so if I were you I would add just a splash at first and try to blend it out, but just keep adding really small increments too make sure it doesn’t become a mess 💞

[@alexiahleguisamon421]

check out twin coast on youtube! they have super thick smoothie bowls using a vitamix!

[@lipolelotsoaeli9789]

I love using mango it tastes so good 😀😀😋😋

[@nateross14]

I'm just going to drill a small hole in the top (or bottom depending how you're looking at it) of one of my Ninja cups so I can make a diy plunger to push the ingredients down when blending. I'll just have to make a stop on the plunger handle that prevents it from contacting the blades.

[@tropicalacai]

Nice!!

Great video! I've never made a smoothie bowl, so I will take your tips into consideration! Also, I'm curious, what's the music in the first part of the video?

ah thank you so much!! Smoothie bowls are so much fun, I hope this helps when you try to make it! and I can't remember the exact name of it but I found it on Epidemic Sound! :)

[@rosaaskriversen9043]

Will the smoothie melt faster if you don’t use a coconut bowl?

[@sophielaflamme9780]

You can also put the bowl in the fridge before so it doesn’t melt as fast

kirboo oh my goodness that makes me so happy!! I’m glad it could help ☺️

[@elizabethlovett4318]

Hmm. Mine come out soupy even with frozen fruits. Though I didn't use frozen veggies but fresh ones. And I used juice instead of milk for liquid. I have a Hamilton Beach blender I hate too, I can never get it to do what I want it to and it's hard to take the lid off or push things back down :/

[@Nicole_TheNomad]

Elizabeth Lovett mine turned out soupy too!! Sometimes it doesn’t work and you have to keep experimenting. Just remember you can always add liquid so start with a little then add!

[@AlllSmiless]

It's cause you used fresh veggies. They need to be frozen

[@manon562]

You really need to use frozen stuff, otherwise it'll be liquidy. Freeze some fruit and vegetables a few hours before.

[@soup_dogg25]

where did you get the coconut bowl ?? it looks so nice !

Where do you get your frozen pitaya??? I’ve been trying to find that brand and am not sure where to find it!
