Smoothie portion calculator

Making the perfect smoothie requires the right ratio of fruit, liquid, and extras. Our calculator helps you find the precise amounts.

Smoothie composition

A good smoothie follows the 40/40/20 rule: 40% fruit or vegetables, 40% liquid, and 20% extras. Fruit provides flavor and thickness, liquid makes it drinkable, and extras like yogurt, oats, or nuts add nutrition.

Choosing fruit

Use frozen fruits for a cold, thick smoothie. Banana, berries, mango, and pineapple are popular choices. Add greens like spinach for extra vitamins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best ratio of fruit to liquid in a smoothie?

The ideal ratio is about 40% fruit/vegetables, 40% liquid, and 20% extras (yogurt, oats, nuts, etc.). For a thicker smoothie, increase the fruit and reduce liquid. For thinner, do the opposite.

Can you prepare smoothies in advance?

Yes, smoothies can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Shake before serving as ingredients may separate. You can also prepare smoothie packs with frozen fruits and store in the freezer โ€“ just add liquid and blend.

Which blender is best for smoothies?

For smoothies, a blender with at least 600 watts is recommended to crush frozen fruits and ice effectively. A high-speed blender (1000+ watts) like Vitamix or Blendtec gives the smoothest consistency. A stick blender works for softer smoothies but struggles with frozen ingredients.
