The Best Fruits for Smoothies (and Why They Work)

A great smoothie isn't random — it's a formula. Get the fruit right and you get creamy, balanced and genuinely good for you, every time. Here's the cheat sheet.

Banana — the creamy base

Frozen banana is the backbone of almost every great smoothie: it brings natural sweetness and a thick, ice-cream texture without any dairy.

Berries — the antioxidant hit

Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries add colour, fibre and antioxidants while keeping the sugar low. A handful transforms the nutrition.

Mango & pineapple — the tropical sweetness

For a sunshine smoothie, mango and pineapple bring natural sweetness and vitamin C — no need for added sugar or juice.

A little avocado — the secret to silky

A small amount of avocado adds good fats and a luxurious, silky texture that keeps you full for longer.

Why frozen fruit makes a better smoothie

Frozen fruit is picked at peak ripeness, chills the blend without watering it down with ice, and means zero waste — you use exactly what you need. It's the easiest upgrade you can make.
