If the smoothie is too runny, add more frozen fruit or ice. If it’s too thick and won’t blend easily, add more juice or milk. If you're poking around in the blender with a spoon handle to make the contents drop into the blending knives, PLEASE, don't do it while the blender is running! Mayhem will ensue.
Optionally you can add some plain yoghurt if you have some around
