- The order of ingredients in your blender affects the final consistency of your smoothie. If you want a delicious, creamy, frothy shake, you need to understand when to add each ingredient. I put together an infographic to take the guesswork out of this. Feel free to save, pin or print this guide so you have it handy next time you’re making a smoothie.
