What is wrong with my smoothie?

Question

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!

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

I'd use yougurt strawberry and crushed ice and all the ingredants you listed except little milk.

Answer 5

Maybe you should add some ice and less apple juice.

Answer 6

the apple juice and milk will have clashed-the acid in the juice. you will enjoy it more if you use one fluid

Answer 7

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!
