Storing Smoothies

You can also make a big batch of smoothies and freeze them for later. Add the blended smoothie to a mason jar or other airtight container and leave about an inch in the container, as smoothies can expand when frozen. 

You don’t always have to drink a smoothie immediately after you make it. In fact, you can buy produce in bulk and make a big batch of smoothies to enjoy throughout the week.

Here’s a few tips to help you save and store your smoothies. 

Meal Prep

One of the easiest ways to form a smoothie habit is to prepare your smoothie ingredients for the week ahead. All you need are some airtight containers, such as mason jars, and your ingredients. Pack your favorite fruits and vegetables, such as berries, bananas, or stone fruit into the container. Greens work, too! Freeze your ingredients, and then when you’re ready for your smoothie, empty one container into the blender and add 1 cup of liquid. You can also add protein powder or nut butter and blend. 

Freezer Friendly

You can also make a big batch of smoothies and freeze them for later. Add the blended smoothie to a mason jar or other airtight container and leave about an inch in the container, as smoothies can expand when frozen. Thaw your smoothie overnight in the fridge the night before you want to enjoy it. Don’t forget to label your container with a date to help you remember when you made it. Frozen smoothies can be kept in the freezer for up to three months. 

On-the-Go

Want to bring a smoothie for lunch or on a road trip? You can pack your smoothie in a portable drink container or tumbler, add it to an insulated lunch bag and then put an ice pack or two in the bag to keep it nice and cool.
