Hello {!firstname_fix}

If you’re here, you are probably interested in learning more about superfoods and herbs 
you can use during the winter season. Today, we are talking more about smoothies. 
After you read this email, go over to the blog [insert link] to read our Winter Superfood 
Smoothie Recipes post.

1. Use a Wide Variety of Ingredients

First of all, remember that there are a lot of different ingredients you can use. While the 
basic smoothie might contain fruit, yogurt, and milk, this is definitely not the only way to 
go. If you want a great winter smoothie that uses lots of superfoods, be versatile and 
use different ingredients. Mix it up with different fruit combinations, add leafy greens like 
kale or spinach, and go for some tasty herbs.

2. Get a Good Solid VS Liquid Ratio

When you are adding ingredients, keep in mind you need liquid to blend it up, otherwise 
all you have is a thick soup. The liquid not only gives you a good smoothie consistency, 
but can double as flavor in the smoothie, and make it easier to blend. The trick is to not 
use too little, but not too much. It helps to add your solid ingredients, a little bit of liquid 
like juice or milk, then blend it up. Only add more liquid as needed.

3. Don’t Forget Added Flavor Components

Lastly, there are a lot of other ways to add flavor to a smoothie, aside from the fruits and 
veggies. Here are some different ideas:

Herbs 
Spices 
Nuts and nut butters 
Flavored milk 
Cocoa 
Peanut Butter 
Honey 
Syrup

We hope you enjoyed these tips on making a smoothie!
