All Smoothie recipes in Grounded 2 (and the best ones to make)

Smoothies in Grounded 2 are tonics you chug for additional effects (plus a little instant healing). A handful of the Smoothies from the first game are reprised, alongside a few new ones. While some of them can be situational, Grounded 2 is quite a bit harder, which necessitates that you have a handful of Smoothies when anticipating a lot of combat.

In this guide, we'll go over everything you need to know about Smoothies in Grounded 2. This includes all the recipes, where to blend them, and some recommendations.

How to get a Smoothie Station in Grounded 2

To craft Smoothies, you need a Smoothie Station first. Thankfully, this workstation can be built quite early on, even before you set up a Hatchery in Grounded 2. Here's what you need:

• An Acorn Top (guaranteed drop from busting an Acorn)
• 4x Sprigs (which is simple enough to get)
• 5x Grub Sludge (will require some farming, but you can also get some Grub Hides as a nice byproduct of the grind)

Once you have all of that, pop down the Smoothie Station on a smooth surface - preferably inside your base.

Smoothie Bases

So, before we get to the individual Smoothies, here's a note on what Smoothie bases do. This is the main liquid where you blend the Smoothie, and you have the choice between three of these:

• Grub Sludge is the basic Smoothie base, and does not provide any additional effect.
• Chocolate Chunk makes Chunky Smoothies. This doubles the instant heal that a Smoothie generally does, which comes out to 80 HP instead of 40 HP.
• Gum Nugget makes Sticky Smoothies. This doubles the duration of the Smoothie buffs (240 seconds instead of 120 seconds).

Every Smoothie recipe in Grounded 2 (so far)

When you want to craft a Smoothie, you get the option to toggle between any of these three Smoothie bases. Other than that, you need the following ingredients:

Name	Required Ingredients	Effects
Scorpidote	1x Scorpion Venom 1x Northern Scorpion Chunk 1x Orb Weaver Chunk	Reduces current Venom Accumulation, and also slows the rate of the Venom status during the buff
Mintito	1x Mint Shard 1x Ice Splinter 1x Nectar	Reduces current Sizzle Accumulation, and also slows the rate of the Sizzle status during the buff
Blazin’ Brew	1x Spicy Shard 1x Lingonberry Chunk 1x Apple Bits	Reduces current Chill Accumulation, and also slows the rate of the Chill status during the buff
Human Food	1x Fresh Apple Bits 1x Fresh Cookie Sandwich Bits 1x Fresh Billy Hog Bits	10% reduced damage taken during the buff
Worker’s Comp	1x Red Ant Part 1x Red Ant Head 1x Red Ant Mandibles	Carry up to 3 additional Weed Stems and Glass Planks
Liquid Rage	1x Larva Spike 1x Orb Weaver Fang 1x Red Ant Mandibles	10% increased attack damage during the buff
Hedge Lord	1x Blueberry Chunk 1x Aphid Honeydew 1x Mite Fuzz	1.5 HP restored per second during the buff
Boost Juice	1x Raw Aphid Meat 1x Mushroom 1x Acorn Bits	Max Stamina increaed by 20 during the buff
Lady in Red	1x Ladybug Part 1x Lingonberry Chunk 1x Ice Splinter	Max Health increased by 20 during the buff

Green Machine	1x Slime Mold Stalk 1x Grass Seeds 1x Clover Leaf	Stamina regeneration increased by 25% during the buff

As always, note that you get the buffs explained here in addition to a 40 HP heal (80 HP if Chunky base) instantly when you consume the Smoothie. As of writing, there are only 11 Smoothie types, but more will get added throughout its Early Access phase, and possibly beyond.

For now, the two best Smoothies to make are Liquid Rage and Green Machine. Green Machine can be crafted from your first hour into Grounded 2, and Liquid Rage is all-around the best value-per-ingredient you get; pop it before you enter combat. After your first foray into the Anthills, you'll also get enough materials to get the Human Food, which can help if you're playing on regular or harder difficulties.

The elemental mitigation smoothies are also situationally highly useful. Blazin Brew and Mintito help out in specific places where you are getting burned or frozen, respectively. Meanwhile, Scorpiodote is essential in the Masked Stranger boss fight.
