Smoothies are possibly the ultimate drink for

an immediate energy boost. They are easy

to make and can transform fresh fruit and

vegetables into healthy drinks packed full of

goodness. In their simplest form they are cool

fresh fruit purées or you can add yogurt as a

healthy thickener or even ice cream or alcohol

for superb tasting treats.

The Kenwood Smoothie Maker is all you

need to whizz up a tasty smoothie, which

can be dispensed directly into your glass.

This booklet contains a selection of recipes

for you to try, from healthy fruit smoothies

and vegetable smoothies, yogurt and milk

smoothies to adult only smoothies.

You may also wish to experiment and make

your own varieties. Whichever you choose

read the hints and tips below, before you

start, to ensure the best results.

S M O OT H I E H I N T S A N D T I P S

• Follow the instructions supplied with your

Kenwood Smoothie Maker to assemble it

and clean it after use.

• Always make sure the tap is closed before

adding ingredients and the lid is secured

in place before switching on to blend the

ingredients.

I N T R O D U C T I O N

• Add liquids such as fruit juices, milk, yogurt

and mineral water to the goblet first, then

add fruits or vegetables and finally ice or

frozen ingredients.

• Smoothies taste best served well chilled. To

achieve the optimum result make sure fruits,

vegetables, juices and dairy products are

well chilled before adding. If not serve the

finished smoothie over ice cubes.

• The desired thickness for a smoothie is very

much a personal choice. Add a little chilled

mineral water or milk if the smoothie is too

thick.

• If the fruit is sweet and ripe you should

not need any extra sweetness, but you can

always add a spoonful of honey or a dash of

sugar to sweeten if necessary.

• Dispense drinks by pressing the MIX button

and pressing down on the dispensing tap

lever, making sure your glass is under the

tap. Switch off and release the tap when the

glass is full.

• If you leave smoothies to stand the

ingredients may separate into layers, this

however does not affect the flavour, they

will still taste delicious, just stir before

drinking. To get the most benefit form the

nutrients present in the fresh fruit and

vegetables drink them as soon as possible

after preparing.
