Smoothie Ingredient Guide: Oils

Oils can be added sparingly to smoothies to add fat and enhance flavor. Oils are very high in calories so only add a little to your smoothie.

If you are using flavored oils, make sure to get high quality, food grade oils that have been cold pressed. Cold pressed oil is made using cold press extraction. Cold press oil extraction is done using an oilseed press but it's unique because it involves no additional chemical solvents or heat. This makes it a healthier option than other extraction methods.
