Berry Green Smoothie
Make-ahead freezer friendly smoothies that are healthy, nutritious and so refreshing for your mornings!
Ever since I started to work from home, I need every excuse to get out of the house into the real world. That’s when I started to walk down the street to Starbucks and the donut store for a morning treat before I start my work day. But obviously the donut calories are not doing me any kind of justice. So with bikini season right around the corner, I decided to change up my morning routine with a healthy green smoothie.
But instead of having a green-green smoothie, I decided to throw in some frozen berries that I had on hand. Now I love all kinds of berries but I’ve found that blueberries and raspberries make a great flavor combo. Plus, you’ll get that extra antioxidant boost! From there, I also added in a banana for some natural sweetness and old fashioned oats to keep you nice and full until lunch time.
You can also freeze individual smoothie packs in a Ziploc bag using your favorite combination of fruits. You can have a different smoothie every day, and it doesn’t get easier than throwing everything straight from the Ziploc bag to the blender! There’s absolutely no thawing needed. All you need to is add your milk and oats when you’re ready to blend. Super easy, right?

I don’t have a recipe, but I have been craving a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie
I would make smoothies galore with this. I’ve recently adopted a clean, organic, pure approach to eating and this would so help my new cause.
i would definitely make a smoothie first. been dying for one lately, but my poor blender sadly doesn’t blend well.

I’ve been making smoothies… but I think I’d make my *FIRST* green smoothie ever using this beautiful machine. And I think this blender might make it a bit more creamier than the bullet I’m using.
My daughter makes banana berry smoothies every morning before school.
I’d chop some frozen cranberries to make my son’s favorite cranberry salad!
