NAKED Blue Machine is a fruit smoothie blend with added fiber and synthetic vitamins, but contains concentrated juices that spike blood sugar and artificial 'natural flavors.' This DIY version uses whole organic fruits and vegetables to provide natural vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants without the processing additives, creating a more nutrient-dense smoothie base that's actually beneficial.

Why This Recipe is Seed Oil Free
Commercial BLUE MACHINE Boosted Smoothie from Naked often contains inflammatory seed oils like canola, soybean, or sunflower oil. This homemade version replaces them with healthier fats like butter, ghee, coconut oil, or avocado oil — giving you the same great taste without the processed oils.

Instructions
Step 1. Prepare your workspace by setting up a high-powered blender (Vitamix or similar) and measuring all ingredients precisely. Weigh the frozen berries (800g blueberries, 400g blackberries) while still frozen for accuracy. Peel and slice the very ripe bananas (1200g total weight) - the spots indicate peak sweetness and they'll blend smoother.
Step 2. Create the fruit puree base: Add the frozen blueberries and blackberries to your blender first, followed by the sliced bananas. Pour in the apple juice concentrate (400ml) and carrot juice (200ml). Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides every 45 seconds. The mixture should be completely smooth with no berry chunks - this is crucial for the final texture.
Step 3. Add fiber and natural vitamin C: Sprinkle the inulin powder (60g) evenly over the fruit mixture and add fresh lemon juice (60ml). Blend for another 1-2 minutes until the inulin is fully incorporated - you should see no powder streaks. The inulin will slightly thicken the mixture and add a subtle sweetness.
Step 4. Portion for storage: Divide the mixture into 20 equal portions of approximately 150g each. Use ice cube trays, silicone molds, or small freezer containers. Each portion will make one 450ml smoothie when blended with 300ml filtered water. Freeze portions for up to 6 months.
Step 5. To prepare individual smoothies: Remove one frozen portion (150g) and let it thaw for 5-10 minutes until slightly softened. Add to blender with 300ml cold filtered water. Blend for 60-90 seconds until smooth and frothy. The result should be vibrant purple-blue in color with a smooth, drinkable consistency.
Step 6. Serving and customization: Pour immediately into a chilled glass. For extra nutrition, add 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds during final blending. The smoothie is best consumed within 30 minutes for optimal flavor and nutrition retention. Store any leftover prepared smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours maximum.
Storage
Freeze portioned smoothie base in airtight containers for up to 6 months. Prepared smoothies should be consumed immediately or refrigerated for maximum 24 hours. The natural sugars will separate over time, so re-blend before drinking.
