Smoothie ingredients
Every ingredient the calculators on this site know about, what job it does in the blend, and what it costs you per serving. 20 of them have a page of their own.
A smoothie is a liquid, some frozen fruit, a creamy base and an optional boost. Everything else in the list below is flavor — it changes how the drink tastes, not how it behaves.
The four roles
The ratio model portions four of the five roles by volume. Get the split right and the texture is right, whichever ingredients you picked — which is why the role matters more than the shopping list.
Ingredient pages
These are the ingredients people search for by name. Each page has how much of it goes in a glass, what it does to the texture, its full nutrition, what it pairs with and what to use instead.
The base that turns a fruit smoothie into something with protein in it.
The one ingredient that thickens, sweetens and creams at the same time.
A stir-in root powder with a malty edge — small amounts, blended in properly.
The default liquid on this site, and the reason most blends here are light.
Pure fat, no texture role, and it behaves oddly in anything cold.
Sharp, deep red, and the seed inside every aril decides how you blend it.
Soft, mild and one of the lightest ways to fill the frozen half of a blend.
Earthy, deeply colored, and the raw-or-cooked question changes the drink.
The sweetener with fiber attached — one date does the work of a spoon of honey.
Bright, sharp and sweet at once — the tropical fruit that cuts through greens.
The green you can hide — a full cup disappears behind almost any fruit.
Whole ground leaf, not brewed tea — which is exactly why it works in a blender.
A protein base with a food-safety question attached — worth reading before you blend one.
Almost nothing but water and fiber — which is both the appeal and the limit.
The stronger green — more flavor to hide, and a stem you should take out.
The one ingredient here measured in teaspoons for a reason.
The thickener that keeps working after you have stopped blending.
The only base that makes a blend rich without making it sweet.
A teaspoon of color and earth — and the one ingredient here that stains everything.
A tablespoon of acidity that changes how everything else in the glass reads.
The whole ingredient list
All 48 ingredients, grouped by the role they fill. Calories, protein and sugar are for one everyday measure of each — the measure is under the name — so the numbers compare directly rather than by weight.
Rounded to the nearest whole number for one household measure. Every calculator and every recipe on the site sums from these same figures, so a total anywhere else will agree with this table.
