After trying out this make ahead method of bagging (or bottling) up smoothie ingredients, I can attest that it really does make a difference on busy mornings.

Ingredients

Version 1
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 3/4 cup Mango diced, and fresh or frozen
Version 2
  • 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
  • 3/4 cup peaches diced or sliced, fresh or frozen
Both Versions
  • 2 cups spinach or other greens like kale or swiss chard - with tough stems discarded
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter or sunflower seed butter or almond butter
  • 2 bananas the riper the sweeter. These do not get frozen with other ingredients
  • 1 cup milk any kind, this also does not get frozen with other ingredients

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the berries and fruit from one of the version options along with the spinach and peanut butter in a freezer-proof bag, jar, or other container. Freeze for later.
  2. When ready to make the smoothie, break up the frozen ingredients with your hand or a utensil (or by banging the bag against the counter) and add them to your blender along with 2 fresh bananas and 1 cup of milk or water (or a combination).
  3. Blend, serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • * For a dairy-free smoothie, sub water for the milk. * For a nut-free smoothie, sub sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
