Smoothies are the new kind of food added by the Bubbly Basin expansion. Every recipe starts from the same base, a slice of watermelon, and every smoothie powers up **Surf**, the same way soups power up Water Gun and salads power up Leafage. Here is how to unlock the blender, the full recipe list and the best uses for each drink.

        ## How to unlock the blender

            - Own the Expansion Pass and progress through the Bubbly Basin story until you finish the Important Request **Build the Beautiful Building** (the Ocean Temple).

            - **Mudkip** then rewards you with the **Blender** recipe.

            - Craft the blender at a workbench and place it in your kitchen. Smoothies are made there just like other dishes.

        ## The base ingredient: watermelon slices

        Whole **watermelons** grow naturally in Bubbly Basin. You cannot use them as they are: give a watermelon to a Pokémon with the **Chop** specialty and it cuts it into **watermelon slices**. Each smoothie needs one slice, so keep a Chop Pokémon near your watermelon patch.

        ## All smoothie recipes

                    SmoothieIngredientsFlavor

                    Watermelon smoothieWatermelon sliceSimple, the cheapest option

                    Sea grape smoothieWatermelon slice + Sea grapesDry

                    Leppa smoothieWatermelon slice + Leppa BerrySweet

                    Red-hot smoothieWatermelon slice + Fresh carrot (a Burn Pokémon must help)Spicy

                    Refreshing soda smoothieWatermelon slice + Aspear Berry + Soda PopSour

                    Coffee parfait smoothieWatermelon slice + Moomoo Milk Coffee + Simple breadBitter

        Sea grapes grow on low plants around the starting area of Bubbly Basin, so the sea grape smoothie is the easiest flavored one to make early on.

        ## What smoothies do

            - **Surf power-up:** drinking any smoothie powers up Surf, which makes moving around the waters of Bubbly Basin much faster.

            - **Comfort:** like any dish, you can serve smoothies to Pokémon that like that flavor.

            - **Mosslax:** the refreshing soda and coffee parfait smoothies count as top-tier dishes, so they trigger the strongest sour (shop discount) and bitter (rare items) buffs.

        > **Tip:** cook a few watermelon smoothies before every long diving session. They only need one slice each and keep Surf powered up while you explore.
