DIY Smoothie Freezer Packs

I love smoothies, especially green smoothies. You get all the nutrients and benefits of the greens (spinach or kale, for example) along with the taste of your favorite fruits. This is also the perfect way to get your picky eater to drink up some greens. 

While I love smoothies and love to have one every morning, I don’t always have the time to put together a fresh smoothie on the spot. By preparing my smoothie packs ahead of time, we can have healthy smoothies ready and at our disposal whenever we need them.

Freezing the spinach or other greens has no effect on the taste of the smoothie, or on its nutritional value.  Now you can make your favorite smoothie recipe and make it into a freezer-ready pack.

When it comes time to make your smoothie, you can easily take one smoothie freezer pack out of your freezer. Blend all the ingredients, in addition to your liquid base, until smooth. You can either blend your smoothie frozen, or you can defrost the pack in the fridge the night before you make it.
