This is my favorite liquid base for a smoothie, and the one I use most often! Almond milk has a mild flavor and a creamy consistency that goes with ALL smoothie flavors.
Oat milk has a strong, oatey aftertaste and super creamy texture that I love. That being said, it’s best to try it first to make sure you like the flavor. Not everyone I know does.
If you love the pop of flavor juice gives to your smoothies, squeeze the juice of a navel orange into your smoothie.Navel oranges are a rich source of immune-boosting vitamin C and potassium!
6. ORANGE JUICE
7. COFFEE
It’s not a crime to get a caffeine boost and a smoothie all-in-one! Coffee makes a great base for chocolate, protein, or peanut butter based smoothies.
Fresh lime juice is one of my favorite addition to fruit and green smoothies! That being said, a little goes a long way. The juice of one lime is plenty. If that’s not enough liquid (and it usually isn’t!) supplement with almond milk or cold water.
You can find fresh squeezed carrot juice at health food stores, or make it yourself with a juicer! Carrot juice tastes great with tropical flavors like mango, banana, and pineapple.
Canned coconut milk is high in fat and calories, which is great for weight gain smoothies! One cup of canned coconut milk has a whopping 552 calories and 57 grams of fat.
