Smoothies are the perfect way to start the morning. By serving my family a smoothie first thing in the morning, I know everyone has been nourished with the best of the best nutrients. A few years ago, I received my first high-speed blender, a Blendtec. If you plan to make a lot of green smoothies, or smoothies containing hard ingredients nuts, dates, etc.
Yes, high-speed blenders can be pricey and require budgeting over months and years. Freezer-safe mason jars are my favorite with the plastic screw-on lids. I can use them for soups, smoothies, broth , salad dressing , and so much more.
They are also freezer safe thanks to the thick glass and wide mouth. I like to freeze extra smoothies in push-up pop or popsicle molds. Smoothies can also be frozen in popsicle molds. I use plastic Ziploc bags for my DIY freezer smoothie packs.
Stasher bags are also a great reusable option! To make a freezer smoothie pack, fill Ziploc bags or Mason jars if you have the freezer space and want to avoid plastic , with smoothie ingredients. I use this formula: 2 cups fruit, 1 sliced banana for a creamy consistency and sweetness , 1 cup greens optional. Freeze the bags or jars. I would try green juices.
You can have them shipped to your house. My son loves smoothies, but had a tree nut allergy and could not have one of these smoothies. Have you tried making these with something other than the almond milk? You can sub any kind of milk you like. I always have almond milk in my house buy you could use coconut, hemp, rice, soy, anything…. Great article! If using chia meal, vs chia seeds, would I use the same amount, or less?
Also… For those who have allergies or are vegan, Growing Naturals makes an awesome rice protein powder! Is two months the max to store your ready made smoothies. If it is longer would you know the max. Smoothies always put a smile on my face! Love them! Plus you can be very creative with recipes….. I love this idea, thanks. Teras Whey protein powder is the best quality and our fav. You can make as many as you like. I do about depending on how much room I have in my freezer.
Will freezing your smoothie recipe work if I use 4oz almond milk and 4oz water as my liquid base? I made them and put them in the freezer and took one out the night before to unthaw and in the morning it tasted awful Any reason why? I bet this would be super good with either chocolate protein powder, or using chocolate almond milk, and adding strawberries for the fruit. Like a chocolate covered strawberry! I tried this last night and put them in the freezer. I added from greek yogurt and oats instead of protein powder and chia seeds.
They still taste amazing. I stuck mine in the freezer overnight then have it in the fridge till lunch time. I am just a coffee person for mornings. I just looked to see if it is thawing out fine and my smoothie is looking green now instead of purpleish. Does that seem normal?
