Ingredients

  • 40 oz package of spinach
  • 6-7 bananas
  • 4 lb. bag Frozen Pineapple chunks
  • 1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
  • Optional: Pinch of fresh Parsley pinch of fresh Cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grab a Huge Handful of Spinach and toss it into the bottom of a quart-sized bag.
  2. Add in 1/2 ripe banana peeled, 1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate and 1 cup frozen pineapple.
  3. Add in your optional parsley and cilantro or any other add-ins you like. Some folks like flax or chia seeds, aloe vera or even protein powders.
  4. Squeeze as much air as possible out of bags and seal. Label and freeze - I like to layer them on a cookie sheet so they stay flat as they freeze. You should be able to make 13 bags. 
  5. To later make your make-ahead green smoothie just take out one of your pre-frozen bags. Then pour ingredients into the blender - I will squeeze the bags on both sides and all the ingredients slip out nicely. Add in about 1 - 2 cups of cold water and blend away. Start with less water and get it to the consistency you like your smoothie.
  6. Serving size? It makes about a quart sized mason jar full. So if you drink that much it serves one. Or if you just want a nice 8 oz. glass you can get a little over 2 cups full. So this works for me and my husbands' breakfast in the morning.
