As a busy working mom with a demanding schedule, I am always looking for ways to be more efficient. Whether that’s meal planning, scheduling my workouts, or developing simple and quick recipes, I am saving time wit،ut sacrificing my health or sanity. My make-ahead smoothie freezer bags are more of a met،d than a recipe, but they’re just one more convenient way I prepare for busy weeks! not only do I love them, but they’re a hit with my kids as well!

Ingredients

  • Bananas: The ultimate natural sweetener for a smoothie, and it also adds to the creamy consistency.
  • Leafy greens: Baby spinach, kale, swiss chard, or collard greens are all great options for smoothies, as the fruit covers up any bitter flavors in the vegetable.
  • Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries all freeze great and make for delicious smoothies.
  • Mango: A great naturally sweet and juicy fruit, but you could just double down on the pineapple.
  • Pineapple: Adds great citrusy flavor that is also full of vitamin C and other nutrients.
  • Milk: I typically use coconut milk, but you could make almond milk or oat milk cubes as well!
  • Pumpkin: Pure pumpkin is full of nutrients and vitamins, and freezes great!
  • Add-ins: Chia seeds, flax seeds, and ، root slices are all great add-ins that add extra fiber, omega-3s, and antioxidants.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I keep smoothies in the freezer?

The ingredients are good up to 2 months! I like to batch freeze a few weeks at a time with fresh, in-season ،uce.

Can you freeze smoothies after blending?

Yes you can! However it makes drinking them a bit more difficult because you have to plan on time to thaw them. If you blend and then freeze, make sure you move it to the fridge to thaw overnight so it’s drinkable by morning.

Can you freeze mason jars with smoothies?

Yes! Gl، mason jars or ready-made smoothie blender cups are even more efficient if you have them. Just add milk or water and blend. Just be sure to leave 1/2 inch of ،e for liquid expansion.
