How To Load A Blender To Make The Smoothest Smoothie

The specific layering makes a lot of sense and doesn’t add much time to the smoothie-making process.

“Layering foods properly helps your blender thoroughly emulsify everything so you get a more cohesive, undeniably smooth smoothie,” as Consumer Reports explains.

Second, add your leafy greens such as kale, spinach and herbs. These are more fibrous and need time to get fully ground up.

Third, after your “salad” layer, chuck in any nuts or seeds you’re going to use so they also have more time to break down under your blender blades.

We’re not sure if avocado is considered a “soft food” or part of the fifth layer of fresh fruits and veggies. But since they’re stacked next to each other, it doesn’t seem like it makes much of a difference.

There you have it. Eight layers to a perfect smoothie.

Will you try out this layering method the next time you’re blending up a smoothie or shake?
