How to Make Smoothie Freezer Packs

DIY: Smoothie Freezer Packs for Busy Back-to-School Schedules

Green Smoothies are a great way to get in a nutritious meal or snack. However, many of us may be short on time to gather and prepare the variety of fruits and vegetables that go into a green smoothie.

Preparing smoothie packs ahead of time that are easy and fast to blend up will help save time in the mornings or provide a quick healthy snack during the day. Kids can also help make their own custom smoothies for the week!

4 Simple Steps to Making Freezer Packs:

Choose your fruit: Berries, peaches, mango, banana, etc. (fresh or frozen)
Choose your greens: Spinach, kale, collards, etc.
Bag it up! Place approximately equal amounts of fruit and greens into a medium size Ziploc freezer bag in any flavor combination of your choice.
Store in the freezer

When ready to use, place 2-3 cups of liquid, freezer pack contents, plus optional ingredients into a blender.

(Depending on the type of blender you use, you may have to add the frozen ingredients in small portions at a time)

Choose your liquid base:

Dairy free milk (almond, soy, etc.)
Coconut water
Milk/yogurt
Chilled fruit tea or green tea
Juice
Water

Add optional ingredients:

Protein powder
Fiber supplement
PGX granules
Chia seeds
Sweetener: Stevia, honey, agave, etc.

Blend until smooth and enjoy!
