Use frozen fruit: For most frozen drinks having a key ingredient like fruit already frozen will help you get the consistency in the final product that you want. Even thirty minutes in the freezer for most fruit will help. This also allows you to store unused fruit for later use.
Add the liquid ingredients first: For most frozen drinks add the liquid (ideally chilled) ingredients first, then the frozen fruit and finally the ice or frozen yogurt.
Start the blender at a low speed and increase speed to get the desired texture. Too thicken the drink, just add ice. Too thin? Add more fruit or liquid
