When it comes to smoothies, we usually buy ingredients in bulk, then take the time to chop everything up and pack in quart-sized freezer bags to freeze. This way we can take it out, add some more ingredients to the blender, and in a few minutes we’re good to go. 🙂
If you try and decide to jump on the green smoothie train, be sure to try our kale smoothie too. This is another favorite!

FAQ
How to do it in advance? Make one or more smoothies ahead of time by prepping the ingredients.
Wash, slice and divide the fruit into sized portions and place them in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator. Yogurt can be frozen in ice cube trays. It’s best to add ice and juice to a smoothie before mixing.
Once your ingredients are prepared like this, you can take them straight from the refrigerator into the blender!
How to store? Just add a little lemon juice or Sure Fresh so the smoothie doesn’t brown. If there is a little room at the top of the container, cut a piece of plastic wrap and place it directly on top of the smoothie.
Store in the refrigerator for 12 hours or up to 3 months in the refrigerator.
