Instructions

  1. Gather and prep ingredients: measure fruits, liquids, and add-ins. Chop fresh fruit into chunks. Portion frozen fruits and dry ingredients into individual freezer bags or containers for meal prep.
  2. Add liquid base (1 to 1 ½ cups / 8 to 12 fl oz) to blender, then add fruits (about 1 ½ to 2 cups / 5 to 7 oz). Blend until smooth. Add more liquid if too thick.
  3. Add protein boosters like Greek yogurt (about ½ cup / 4 oz), seeds, nut butters, and greens. Blend again until creamy and well combined.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice with honey, cinnamon, or ginger as desired.
  5. Pour smoothie into reusable bottle or glass. For meal prep, freeze smoothie packs and blend fresh each morning or thaw overnight in the fridge.

Notes

Freeze smoothie packs in individual portions for easy meal prep. Leave headspace in containers to allow for expansion. Blend frozen packs with a bit of extra liquid for best texture. Layer ingredients starting with liquids, then soft fruits, harder frozen fruits, and powders/seeds on top for smooth blending. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Soak oats before blending for smoother texture. Adjust liquid amount to avoid watery smoothies.
