    You can, but it might dilute the flavor, especially if you use ice cubes. If you freeze juice and use that in place of the ice cubes, you can avoid diluting the flavor of the smoothie.

    First, go to a supermarket near you. If you are trying it out for the first time you can buy a sample packet for cheaper than a tub. Follow the directions for how much to add to milk, water, or another drink of your choice.

    Do I have to add ice?
    Ruby

    It isn't necessary, however adding ice to your drink will make it cooler. If you aren't adding ice and are not putting in frozen ingredients, I would recommend putting it in the fridge for a bit.

    You don't. Use method One. Method Two calls for water or juice to make the smoothie less thick. Juice or some kind of milk will taste better than water.

    It'll still come out fine, but the taste will be slightly different, as almond milk tastes different than milk.
  • Question
    Can I replace the strawberries with cherries?
    Mikisunshine
    Community Answer
    You can exchange any fruit you want, although if you’re using fresh cherries, that’s a lot of pitting you’ll need to do before you blend. Do not add the cherry pits to a blender!

    A smoothie can be based on water or milk, it's anyone's preference.

  • Question
    What if you don't add ice? Will it still be okay?
    Ruby
    Top Answerer
    If you don't add ice to the smoothie, it won't make a difference to the the smoothie (except for causing it to be less diluted). All that will happen is that the smoothie won't be as cold. You can always use frozen fruit if you want your smoothie to be cold.

    You don't have to add ice, but it will cool down your drink. You can refrigerate your smoothie before drinking it, or you can use frozen berries to keep your smoothie cold.
