Smoothie Ratio Calculator

Work out smoothie ratio instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Smoothie Ratio Calculator

Total volume adds the three components, and the thickness index is the solid fraction: fruit plus dairy over the total, where about 0.6 to 0.7 gives a spoonable texture. Smoothie texture is set by the solids fraction rather than the ingredient list, which is why adding 50 ml of juice thins a blend far more than swapping the fruit.

Formulas

Total volume

total = fruit + liquid + yoghurt

Thickness index

solids fraction = (fruit + yoghurt) / total

Worked example

With the default values below, Smoothie Ratio Calculator returns Total smoothie volume of 450. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Smoothie Ratio figure worked out?

total = fruit + liquid + yoghurt. Total volume adds the three components, and the thickness index is the solid fraction: fruit plus dairy over the total, where about 0.6 to 0.7 gives a spoonable texture.

Why does this matter?

Smoothie texture is set by the solids fraction rather than the ingredient list, which is why adding 50 ml of juice thins a blend far more than swapping the fruit.

What do I need to enter?

Enter fruit, liquid, yoghurt or dairy, serving size. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
