Smoothie Essentials
Before you start your journey as a vegan smoothie fiend, you will need to equip your kitchen with a few essentials.
- Quality ingredients. You can make a smoothie using almost anything: stone fruit, berries, greens, nut butter, non-dairy milk… The possibilities are endless! To capture rich taste and high nutritional value, you should use quality ingredients in your vegan smoothie. Amazingly, that doesn’t necessarily mean fresh produce! Fruit, berries and greens such as spinach preserve the majority of their nutrients when frozen.
- Powerful blender. The single most important piece of equipment you’ll need for making vegan smoothies is your blender. Pick the best option, taking your budget and available kitchen space into account. Personally, I highly recommend Ninja Smoothie Bowl Blender. This blender is perfectly designed for making creamy, thick smoothies. The best part? It’s super affordable! Of course, I can’t talk about smoothies without mentioning the OG high-power blender Vitamix. It’s more expensive, but it’s a great investment for many years ahead.
- Smoothie cup. Whether you enjoy your smoothie at home or on-the-go, you could drink it from a stylish and functional vessel. A good smoothie cup can double as a takeaway cup for bubble tea or iced coffee!
- Reusable straws. It is a well-known fact that smoothies taste better if you drink them through a straw! Nowadays, straws come in a variety of different sizes and materials. If you like thick and creamy smoothies, an extra wide straw is a must.
- Cleaning brushes. To help you clean the blender, glasses, mason jars, bottles and straws, you really should invest into a set of good brushes.
