MOBE Kitchen Tips:

• Adjust the amount of each ingredient to get the flavor and consistency you want. Using more liquid will create a thinner, more drinkable smoothie. Using less liquid will result in a thicker consistency.
• Consider your blender when choosing ingredients like kale or hearty produce. Some will blend more easily than others. Mix and match different fruits and veggies for variety and nutritional benefits. 

Not a veggie lover? A smoothie is a great way to camouflage them without impacting the flavor. Partner with a MOBE Guide for more creative ideas to get the nutrients you need.
