Unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie Calories

Blend your chosen fruit until smooth to make an unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie. Add a little water or milk if it is too thick, and use ripe fruit for sweetness without adding sugar.

Banana, berries, mango, and apple work well in an unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie. Pair a soft, sweet fruit with a tart one for a balanced flavour, and adjust the liquid to suit the juiciness of the fruit.

An unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie is best consumed soon after blending, but it can be kept covered in the fridge for up to a day. It may darken or separate; stir or reblend it before drinking.

Yes, you can freeze an unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie in a freezer-safe container, leaving room for expansion. Thaw it in the fridge and blend it again, since freezing can change its texture and cause separation.

An unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie usually retains the fruit pulp, while juice is often strained and loses much of it. That gives a smoothie a thicker texture, but it is still easy to drink quickly, so take time with it.

No, blending an unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie does not remove the fruit’s fibre if you keep the pulp in the drink. Straining it afterward removes much of that fibre and makes it more like juice.

Yes, frozen fruit works well in an unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie and can make it thick and cold without ice. Let large frozen pieces soften briefly if your blender struggles, and add liquid a little at a time.

An unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie on its own may not make a balanced meal, because it is mainly fruit. To make it more substantial, blend in yogurt, milk, or nut butter and pair it with other nourishing foods.

An unsweetened mixed fruit smoothie can turn brown when cut fruit, especially apple or banana, reacts with air. Blend it shortly before serving, keep it covered, or add a little citrus juice to slow the colour change.
