To Ice or Not to Ice?

Blending frozen fruit into your smoothies will get them to a nice consistency and perfect temperature. But if your produce is fresh instead of frozen, you’ll want to include ice to make it colder without being too heavy. As a bonus, ice adds extra hydration! Win, win.

Try one… try them all! Which one are you making first?
