1.混合不充分

　　Smoothies are definitely quick, but it takes several minutes to get the consistency right. Do not turn off your blender after 10 seconds only to be disappointed that there are still chunks of ice and fruit bobbing about. You will want to blend your ingredients for a good 2 minutes to ensure your smoothie is nice and smooth.

　　奶昔做起来当然很快，但是需要花几分钟时间来调制出合适的稠度。不要在关掉搅拌机10秒之后，失望地发现里面还有冰块和水果块冒出来。你可以用2分钟时间充分搅拌奶昔材料，这样就能保证你的奶昔又好又滑。

　　2. Not using a thickening agent

　　2.没用增稠剂

　　Smoothies should never be runny and liquid-thin. Use fruits with thick flesh such as peaches, bananas or mangos to get the consistency thick and creamy. Soaked flax or chia seeds can also do the trick, giving it some jelly-like body and a nice dose of extra nutrients.

　　奶昔永远都不应该水分过多，液体不粘稠。用一些果肉较厚的水果，比如桃子，香蕉或者芒果，来保证奶昔的粘稠度和乳脂状。浸泡过的亚麻籽或者野鼠尾草籽也可以让奶昔粘稠，而且会让奶昔看起来像是果冻，而且还能提供很好的附加的营养。

　　3. Adding too much powder

　　3.加了太多的粉

　　Do not just dump protein powders into your smoothie. Read those labels before you buy and make sure you are not getting heaping doses of artificial sweeteners or GMOs. These powders can be dangerous for your health so before you go along with what everyone else is doing, make sure you really check them out.

　　不要仅仅将蛋白粉放入奶昔中。在你购买蛋白粉之前要读一下那些标签，确保你不会放入太多的人工甜味剂或者转基因物质。这些蛋白粉或许对你的健康有害，所以在按照别人的做法制作奶昔的手，要确保你真的认真检查过了。

　　4. Getting way too sweet

　　4.太甜了

　　If you are using smoothies as a healthy breakfast in the morning, you should never add sugar. Instead, make use of the natural sweetness of berries or bananas. Dates can also be great for adding a really sweet taste with a huge hit of nutrients. Should you accidentally overdo the sweetness on your smoothie, you can balance it out with a squeeze of lemon or lime.

　　如果你正在用奶昔作为清晨的健康早餐，你绝不应该加糖。而是应该充分利用浆果或者香蕉天然的甜味。枣子也是增加甜味的好材料，而且富含营养成分。如果你不小心在奶昔中加入了太多的甜味剂，你可以用一点柠檬或者算成来中和一下。

　　5. Adding too many ingredients

　　5.加了太多材料

　　You might think that adding all kinds of healthy items to your smoothie is a great idea. But it is not going to taste so great. Limit the ingredients to 3 or 4 items.

　　你或许认为在奶昔中加入各种各样的健康的材料是非常好的主意。但是这样做的奶昔味道不会太好。将材料限定在3种或者4种，这样做出的奶昔味道正好。
