Adding in too much milk, If you’re only using milk for your smoothie liquid, you might be using too much.
Adding in too much fruit, It’s really not necessary, and it makes your smoothie so sugary.
Adding no healthy fats or fibre, Healthy fats and fibre are the two things that are going to make your smoothie filling and saciating.
Adding liquid sweeteners, If you’re using ripe fruit, there is no need to add sweeteners.
Adding protein powders with sugar, You do not need protein powders that are loaded with sugar.
Not adding in fresh leafy greens, Fresh, raw, beautiful leafy greens are amazing to put into your smoothies.
Not having a variety of smoothie ingredients, You want to make sure you’re using a variety of ingredients in your smoothies.
Not using the right blender, If you don’t have a good blender you’ll end up with a pulpy smoothie, and you’ll still be able to feel all the texture of the greens.
Using unripened fruit, If you want your smoothie to be delicious, sweet and easy to digest, you want to make sure you’re using ripened fruit.
Not adding protein, But it doesn’t have to be a protein powder, Things like hemp seeds or raw almonds are a great source of plant based protein.

One of the most common mistakes people make when getting into smoothies for the first time is adding anything and everything to the mix. A smoothie really shouldn’t have more than 8-10 ingredients. Go easy on the liquid, too much liquid can quickly ruin a smoothie — stick with 8-ounces MAX as you can always add more. One of the biggest mistakes I see when reviewing client food journals is too much fruit in their smoothies, generally speaking, you’re setting yourself up for an insulin-spiking rollercoaster ride whenever more than 1/2 cup fruit is added.

When making a smoothie, do not mix fruits and vegetables together, as they can create toxic gases that can trigger digestive issues and skin disorders.
Fruits have active antibacterial enzymes that react with everything they’re mixed with, and fruits turn toxic when combined with other food groups.
Fruits cannot be mixed with milk, yogurt, vegetables, grains and pulses or meat.
It is advised to never blend vegetables with fruits.
Mixing dairy with fruits may slow down your digestion and take longer than usual to get absorbed by the body.
Forbidden smoothie combinations include: Vegetables + Fruits, Fruits + Milk, Fruits + Yogurt, Fruits + Grains.
