5. Blend well until it reaches the desired smoothness. For thick smoothies, add more fruits and vegetables. For thinner smoothies add fewer fruits and vegetables. If the smoothie becomes too thick, stop the blender, add water, and use a spatula to stir the smoothie a bit before restarting the blender.
