How do I make a smoothie thicker?

First use less liquid. Second, use frozen banana instead of ice so it doesn't get watered down. My smoothie bowls (like this u003ca href=u0022https://healthyishappetite.com/sunshine-smoothie-bowl/u0022u003esunshine bowlu003c/au003e or my u003ca href=u0022https://healthyishappetite.com/peanut-butter-acai-bowl/u0022u003epeanut butter acai bowlu003c/au003e) are made extra thick so you can eat them with a spoon so check those out too.

Can I use a different type of milk?

You can, but if you use an unsweetened milk it might need to add a little maple syrup. I think it's definitely worth buying the vanilla soy for this one for optimal taste and texture.

What blender do you use?

I recently won a Vitamix (the exact model is linked in the recipe card below) and I am OBSESSED. I never believed the hype about these until I got one for myself. It's very powerful and won't leave any chunks behind. Plus it's way easier to clean than my old Ninja, which had a weird vertical blade.

You can use a different type of milk, but if it’s unsweetened you will want to add honey or maple to add a little bit of sweetness.
