The new cooking mechanic in the latest Legend of Zelda entry, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, requires Zelda to blend up smoothies. By mixing different ingredients, the resulting smoothies can recover hearts, provide buffs, or both. However, mixing the wrong ingredients will result in an Unfortunate Smoothie, which is this game’s version of Dubious Food.
While not all smoothies are created equal, and some are much better than others, several quests require you to craft at least 30 different smoothies. Ingredients can be found across Hyrule from monster drops, quest rewards, and even purchased from shops. Here are the recipes for every smoothie (and potion) in Echoes of Wisdom.
Basic Smoothies
Smoothies Using Regular Ingredients
Basic smoothies are those crafted from the general ingredients that only provide recovery buffs. These ingredients will provide healing or energy recovery, but no additional effects. The other ingredients provide specific buffs for damage mitigation, utility, and traversal. All of these ingredients can be found somewhat easily, or purchased from specific shops.

These smoothies don’t have any special effects outside of recovering Hearts and Swordfighter Form energy. They can be blended fairly early in the game, as the ingredients are easier to come by and less expensive. Some of these basic smoothies, such as the Salted Milky Smoothie, are still considered one of the best smoothies even later in the game due to how much healing and recovery it provides. Austin John Plays provides further clarification on which smoothies are best at different stages of the game, as well as a useful chart of all combinations.
Simple Defensive Smoothies
Basic Smoothies That Provide Reduction Or Resistances
This next type of smoothie requires slightly rarer ingredients, although they can all be purchased through shops or found while exploring. These smoothies provide strong defensive buffs, such as Damage Reduction or resistance to specific elements.

The Tough Mango smoothies provide Damage Reduction effects that will reduce damage taken overall by 25%. Not only that, but smoothies can also stack with equipped items, so combining a Tough Smoothie with the Curious Charm will give Zelda an overall 75% reduction in damage. Consider using these when going up against tough bosses or areas with difficult enemies.

Accessories apply buffs to some of Zelda’s abilities in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, with over two dozen Accessories available.
The Warm Pepper and Chilly Cactus smoothies are perfect for safely passing through areas of extreme temperatures, such as Eldin Volcano or Hebra Mountain, that have scorching-hot and freezing temperatures, respectively. The Electro Apple smoothies provide resistance to lightning damage, which is very prevalent in the Faron Wetlands region.
Traversal Smoothies
Smoothies To Get Around Faster
Travel is very important in Echoes of Wisdom, with a large map to explore either on foot or horseback. Using Echoes can help make traversal much easier, but there are also specific smoothies that make swimming and climbing faster, or allow you to dive for longer.

Blending smoothies with Bubble Kelp will increase the duration of time that Zelda can spend underwater, which is particularly useful in dungeons featuring long, underwater puzzle sections. Alternatively, you could use one of the Riverhorse smoothies to increase your swim speed. This way, you’ll spend less time underwater overall.
Rocktatos give you a boost to climbing speed to help traverse steep cliffs and walls, such as those in the Eldin Volcano Trail area. However, using Echoes instead, such as the Crawltula, is already pretty quick. You may not end up needing to use climbing smoothies very often.
Utility Smoothies
Smoothies For Specific Situations
Utility smoothies consist of two specific types of buffs: Glow and Winding Speed. Each of these buffs is highly situational, but can be useful depending on what you need to do. The Glow buff in particular can be useful in some dark dungeons to avoid falling into pits or traps.

Winding Speed Up is a specific buff related to Automatons. Automatons are clockwork-style creatures that you can deploy against enemies. They can be collected and built throughout the game after completing the Automaton Engineer Dampé quest.
You can start this quest by speaking to Dampé in
Hyrule Field
after completing the Still Missing quest. He is just north of
Hyrule Ranch
.
Winding up Automatons can take a while, and Zelda is vulnerable while doing so. Using a Winding Speed Up smoothie will allow her to wind them faster. However, it’s still recommended to find a safe area to do so if possible.
Golden Smoothies
Highest Healing From Rarest Ingredient
Golden Smoothies are the highest healing in the game and provide the maximum duration for each buff. These smoothies require Golden Eggs, which are rare and limited ingredients found through quest rewards and treasure. There is also a very small chance to obtain them from scanning a Legend of Zelda Amiibo, but you can only scan three total per day.

The value of these smoothies lies in their health restoration. Though the duration of the effects is a maximum of five minutes, there are also potions that can be crafted that use Monster Parts, which are much easier to come by. If you do want to use Golden Smoothies, the Golden Tough Smoothie is the best option, as it provides Damage Reduction. This makes it a perfect smoothie to use in case of an emergency during a difficult fight.
Monster Potions
Guts, Glory, and Buffs
The final category of smoothies isn’t exactly, well, smoothies. These potions are crafted using Monster Parts as half of the recipe, though they can also be blended up at Smoothie Shops. They provide maximum buff duration, similar to the Golden Smoothies, but without health recovery.

Thankfully, Monster Parts can be farmed by repeatedly defeating enemies that drop them. They are more plentiful than Golden Eggs, so most of your needed buffs will come from potions instead of smoothies.
The
Warming Pepper
works for both
Monster Guts and Monster Fangs
. However, the outcome is slightly different. The
Chill-Proof effect
only protects Zelda from cold temperatures. The
Ice-Proof buff
instead protects her from temperatures as well as freezing when hit by ice attacks. The
Piping-Hot Potion
is better than the
Warming Potion
for this reason.
Be mindful of the Monster Part type! Like Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom uses different parts, specifically the Monster Guts and Monster Fangs. Potion recipes require the correct usage of Guts or Fangs, or else you’ll wind up with an Unfortunate Smoothie. Make sure to mix up as many smoothies as you can, as the Recipes, Please! quest needs you to make a total of 30 unique recipes.
