"These are dates not turds" Damn, didn't know this video was about my love life.

Best smoothie I've ever had was from a Jamaican food truck almost 6 years ago. It was pineapple, ginger, mango and lime. I still dream about it.

"Put your liquid first" Puts dates first "Dont use ice" Uses ice "I'm not a smoothie person" Proceeds to make smoothies

Dates soaked in milk for a couple of hours or overnight takes the smoothie to a whole new level.

you should try putting kale in your smoothie.

Everyone else- *puts kale in cup* Joshua- WhAt DiD i SaY¿¡¿¡

Just made the chocolate peanut butter smoothie following this recipe and it’s delicious. The dates do something magical to this combination of flavors, 10/10.

"When I get a smoothie, I have a few rules. And none of them include kale." Amen, brother.

Personally I like to make a batch of “smoothie bags” and put them in the freezer. Chop the fruits and veg, freeze, when you want it pop that in the blender, add liquids, badabing you got a nice smoothie

“When I make smoothies, I have a few rules and none of them involve Kale” You godsend 😂

I really like putting yogurt in my smoothies, makes it nice and thicc. You can use flavored or plain yogurt. Be careful not to put to much yogurt because it will be very tart I would say a 3rd of a cup is a good amount.

I use Orange Gatorade Zero as my fluid. Add Frozen Mangoes, Frozen berries, boom tastes exactly like Jamba Juice.. And thanks for sharing! Adding dates and putting liquid first to save the blades is a new one for me

i love the fact that he used metal straw instead of the plastic one to enhance the sophistication of this video

Finally someone agrees with me on ice cubes diluting stuff

My home economics teacher played this for my class for a food lab I loved the video so I found you

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Just imagine this guys fridge

I once took one bite of kale and lifted an entire school bus with my mind.

Love his challenges and his content but I really do appreciate his editing style... like incorporation of dope music and the classic B-roll.... so addictive to watch legit

My daily smoothie: 140 g frozen fruit (usually blueberry or strawberry for me, but mango is good too) 100 g frozen banana slices (I slice and freeze on a silpat, then put them in a zip-lock baggie or freezer container) 50 g spinach (I buy fresh spinach, then freeze it) 140 g greek yogurt (team Chobani all the way) 230 g liquid (I do half orange or pineapple juice and half non-dairy milk) This is super basic, but you get a pretty consistent amount and viscosity every time. I also add spirulina powder, but that does not add to the taste or texture of the smoothie at all. If I am more hungry, I add 1/2 c cooked instant oats that I pre-blend. It adds nice fiber and bulk to the smoothie to keep you full for a longer time.

How to make a smoothie: 1- have an expensive and powerful blender

I was using almond milk in my smoothies for a long time. I just switched to coconut milk and it’s incredible.

Love this video. Thanks for all the practical tips

I also am not a fan of finding leafy greens in my smoothie but I know spinach is a good addition- I actually freeze my spinach too and I think it works better for me!!

HOW ABOUT A VIDEO ON MAKING NUT BUTTERS

I liked the music instead of bleeping in the curse word

Thanks so much! I'm really excited to try to make one!

Love the commentary, makes a great video and makes me continue watching!

We, the audience: tied up in Joshua's closet Joshua: "I'm not much of a smoothie guy..."

Quick tip: I found putting kale in any smoothie really helps expand the flavor.

You can use yogurt instead of milk as well. I like Icelandic style yogurt in mine. And I agree, you can't hide the taste of kale. Spinach works just fine.

Just bought a blender to make smoothies. SO GLAD YOU'RE THE FIRST VIDEO I FOUND!!!!! TKS!!!!!

In liquid, you forgert to mencion Rum. You are the best Joshua

my mom trying to feed me and my sister: "these are dates, not turds."

i watch you so im not alone cooking thank you

I did find the break down of the basic parts to a smoothie helpful. Thanks.

he really need to flex that vitamix blender tho

Dear Joshua, have you considered making kvas (another fermented drink) in foreseeable future?

I love this video. Something I was looking for.

Thank you for a lot of different ideas of smoothie. I' m never did smoothie before. I am gonna try one

When I worked in a Smoothie store, the best item to create texture to the smoothie was nonfat Frozen yogurt/sherbet. Ex) Apple Juice + Non fat vanilla froyo + Strawberries & Banana (all frozen). Nice, thick consistency, and delicious

I bought a Nutri-Bullet a short while back and I've been getting into the smoothies. I think your best tip here was about freezing the fruit before you use it. Smoothies are a great way to up your fruit and veg count for the day, they taste great too. I tried putting kale into one, like you, I'm not a fan.

I like to use plain oats and oat milk in my banana strawberry smoothies, as well as vanilla yogurt. Sometimes I might add spinach or kale (lol) to it.

Made the strawberry banana one and it was delightful 😊

My old local smoothie shop did themed musical drinks, the best was the Yellow Submarine which was frozen melon balls, apple juice, frozen pineapple, frozen green grapes, and lemon sherbet which was heavenly in summer 😋❤️

I tend to experiment when making my smoothies (if it tells you anything, I never measure my ingredients Lol). One recent interesting thing I did recently was a cherry smoothie, where I added vanilla almond milk, frozen black cherries, a small amount of 100% real cherry juice, and cherry Greek yogurt. Next stop: a strawberry-peach smoothie.

WOW! I like your choices in the fruits, you have a nice ideas for smoothies...

Thanks! As someone new to all of this, this is good basic stuff!

I begun to catch myself always saying B-roll with you...

You had me at "none of them include kale".

You are priceless. Love you presentation, And your recipes. Thank you

wow this was exactly what i was looking for!! ty!

Wow, a youtuber that said "Honey" and didn't go into an advertisement ! Subbed

I did this really weird thing once when I heard that stinging nettles (urtica dioica) are actually a superfood (which they are), so I picked some and made a banana-peanut-stinging nettle-ice-milk smoothie and it was actually really good.

Every food I’ve locked up this dude is allways the first one that pops up 💯 I like it 😁

You literally have the best looking smoothies i've ever seen.

I use homemade yogurt in all my smoothies cuz it makes them THICC

The montage is literally provides me with sense of calmness for reasons unknown 🧡🍂

His crystal clear videos .... ❤️❤️❤️

They all look soo good!!

Dragon fruit makes the smoothie a really pretty color. Adding some protein powder makes it a bit more nutritious as well. Just not too much or the smoothie will become a grainy

You've forgotten the best liquid for smoothies, alcohol.

Just made this at home, can confirm it was phenomenal. Sucks that I didn’t have any frozen strawberries though and had to resort to 3 ice cubes and a banana to frost it :(

I’m sure someone has already said this somewhere but anyways you should use coconut water instead of regular water. More nutrients and it adds a nice subtle taste

*I KNOW YOU SAID NOT TO CONVINCE YOU TO USE KALE, I'M SORRY--* but have you ever tried baby kale? Without the stems? Much, much milder flavor.

Nice guide. Just tried pure vanilla extract with banana, dates and oats and it tasted awesome for a breakfast smoothie.

Thanks I appreciate you making this vid it help meh get so many ideas 💡

Hello, I always add hemp seeds in my smoothies I buy them at Maison d'Herbes. They have chocolate or vanilla and the seeds add a delicious nutty taste. I also love the exceptional properties.

Congrats on making opening the next door in your career, very excited to hear what's next! Would really love to see an indepth/bulletproof from scratch vinegar recipe for your fermentation segment. So many ideas for all the seasonal fruit!

I just found you, recently, and have been binging through your catalogue. This one hit home for me. I have some rules, for myself, that seem to overlap with yours (I've only barely started though, I could be wrong). 1. The only leafy vegetable I can accept in my smoothie is spinach, and that shit better be fresh. The tiniest bit of wilt gives a specific flavor that WILL make me gag, usually leading to instantaneous vomit. Don't even try to Mr. Creosote me on this. 2. No ice. Freeze the fruit if you want it icy. Use sherbet or sorbet. Something with flavor. Freeze some juice cubes, if you must. 3. Keep the "green" flavors (thinking spirulina, etc.) to a minimum, and get some acidity to cut it. Sure, it's good for you, but you don't need THAT much, and smoothies aren't meant to taste like I'm drinking my lawn. My stepmother would make smoothies with fresh, unfrozen fruit, water, ice cubes, and gross herbal additives. She even admitted it didn't exactly taste good. But, "It's not THAT bad, so don't complain, and just drink it." Don't do that to yourselves, folks. You deserve better. Keep it fun and tasty, while keeping it healthy! Those concepts don't need to be mutually exclusive. (Edit) I accept your ice usage in the peanut butter, but I can't bring myself to drink nut butter smoothies. It's a texture revolt moment for me!

My go-to smoothie is frozen banana, frozen strawberries, an apple, orange juice and a handful of spinach (sometimes I add a stick of celery). My second favourite is just an apple, 1/4 red beet, 1 stick of celery, water and some lemon juice. 😊

So amazing job, awesome tips love it

Here for this! 🙌🏼 Also, KALE IS FOR SALAD AND CHIPS.

Hold up! What was in that honey jar? It looked like garlic and chile flakes. Am I wrong? Do we need more information on that? DID I POSSIBLY MISS A VIDEO?! I dunno.

I am a smoothie obsessed person and these are the best smoothie recipes I've seen

Greetings from Pittsburgh Pa. I love your recipes. Good idea. Crushed ice for the blender I never gave it a thought.

When he said „none of them include kale“ I felt that.

4:33 Josh: "one large handful of spinach" description: one _small_ handful of spinach me: *visible confusion*

i’m definitely trying the carrot mango smoothie 😍😍

The difference between Josh‘s confidence level is huge from here to now. I love it. Keep growing, Papa!

Also worth noting a lot of fruits can either be classed as watery/juicy or heavy. Mango, banana and avocado* are heavy fruits, if you put them in a smoothie you'll notice they often become the focal point even if you put other things in it in equal quantity. These fruit also naturally go well with milk and greek yoghurt. The only exception to this is avocado, which has a heavy texture, but it's flavour is so mild it doesn't quite act the same as banana and mango. Nectarines, pears, berries etc. are all watery/juicy. If you put these in a blender without some kind of dairy or heavy fruit, it wouldn't even really be a smoothie, it'd just be juice, wouldn't it? I like to have a heavy fruit base that is the focal point of the smoothie, and use watery/juicy fruits to reduce the viscosity whilst still adding interesting flavours.

You could always freeze the orange juice in an ice try and blend them with your smoothie. You still get a frosty smoothie but no dilution.

The morning smoothie that I used to prep when I didn't have the time for breakfast - cause a half an hour more sleep was more important to me than a normal breakfast - was: Banana Cacao powder Spinach Nut Butter Black Coffee Ice I used to drink this in the train on the way to uni. Surprisingly filling, and the taste was tolerable enough that I could consume this everyday for a whole month (Late night studying for exams are hellish).

Thanks for the recipe my familly loved it :)

perk of working at smoothie king is i know countless great combination for smoothie. most i came up with in my own through experimenting at work

3:38 "So this is a chocolate peanut smoothie" *starts with dates*

Top quality. My guy!!

i think no one has ever deserved a subscription as much as you man

Real water? 🤣😂 Love your channel. Always makes my day.

Love me a good, smooth, (more on the liquidy side) smoothie 😍

Thank you! Love the b roll footage.

I love the breakdown.

I fell in love with you when you said 'and none of them include kale'

I feel about Orange juice in smoothies how you feel about kale in smoothies 😅

When I grow up I'm going to have a Vitamix. Thank you for the tips!

everytime i watch one of your videos i get a nostalgic feeling like i'm watching good eats with alton brown

I'll use kale in a smoothie if the store is out of baby spinach (surprisingly frequent where I live) but it's certainly not my first choice.

This was so satisfying to watch! PS- I hate kale too

Might do this for this week's breakfast meal prep

Brilliant, on many levels
