Early on, you might not have access to exotic ingredients for more complex smoothies. The Refreshing Mixed Smoothie is a reliable solution for maintaining your health. While it doesn’t offer stat buffs, it instantly replenishes up to seven hearts, providing ample healing during the initial hours of gameplay.
Recipe: 1 Refreshing Grapes + 1 of the following: Riverhorse, Electro Apple, Chilly Cactus, Rock Salt, Radiant Butter, or Tough Mango.
Swim Speed Enhancement: Rapid Smoothie

While Hyrule isn’t as submerged as in Wind Waker, swimming still plays a significant role. Zelda’s base swim speed isn’t impressive. The Rapid Smoothie provides a quick solution, healing one heart and granting a one-minute swim speed boost.
Recipe: 2x Riverhorse.
Elemental Protection: Chilly Potion and Piping-Hot Potion

Just like in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, elemental environments return in Echoes of Wisdom. The Chilly Potion offers five minutes of fire resistance, perfect for exploring volcanic regions. Conversely, the Piping-Hot Potion grants five minutes of ice resistance, allowing you to navigate freezing waters.
Chilly Potion Recipe: 1x Chilly Cactus + 1x Monster Guts.
Piping-Hot Potion Recipe: 1x Warm Pepper + 1x Monster Guts.
Energy Restoration: Salted Milky Smoothie
While you only briefly control Link in the introduction, Zelda’s Swordfighter Form allows her to wield his moveset. This form consumes energy, and once depleted, you’ll need to recharge. The Salted Milky Smoothie offers a quick fix, restoring 10 hearts and completely refilling your energy bar.
Recipe: 1x Fresh Milk + 1x Rock Salt.
Ultimate Defense: Golden Tough Smoothie
The Golden Tough Smoothie is the ultimate smoothie, although its ingredients are rare. It heals a massive 20 hearts and provides five minutes of damage reduction, significantly impacting challenging boss fights.
Recipe: 1x Tough Mango + 1x Golden Egg.
