Step 3: Add Your Liquids
Add 1-2 cups of liquids and base (see step #4) – enough to fill the base up just below the fruit and veggies in the blender.

Step 5: Add Your Superfood Boost
Adding a boost to your smoothie gives you the opportunity to double-down on your nutrients per glass and to potentially increase the absorption rates of your superfood supplements.
