What is wrong with my smoothie?
Category: Smoothie Q&A
I just tried to make a strawberry banana smoothie with 1/2 cup of apple juice, 1/2 cup of skim milk, 1 banana, and 4 strawberries. But when i mixed and smoothed it, it turned out really frothy and bubbly. It tastes gross! Please let me know what I did wrong or give me a better recipe!

you should also put yogurt or ice cream in it…. that should make it thicker and hopefully make it taste better to.. hope that helps!
the apple juice and milk will have clashed-the acid in the juice. you will enjoy it more if you use one fluid
I’d use yougurt strawberry and crushed ice and all the ingredants you listed except little milk.
You need more fat in your smoothie to prevent that protein froth from forming. I’d recommend using real milk instead of skim milk. Alternatively, you could add an egg.
I’ve always found that frozen fruit or ice give the smoothie some thickness and texture instead of being all frothy and watery and stuff. Usually for strawberry banana smoothie (serving size = 1) I just use 10 frozen strawberries, 1/2 of a banana, one little pack of yogurt, and some water. It usually turns out great. Hope this helps!
Maybe you should add some ice and less apple juice.
