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?

Looks great and I have all of those ingredients on hand. If I only had a good blender.
Thanks for the recipe. I’m a smoothie beginner and this is an easy one!
I would make an orange smoothie.
this looks delicious!! I’d make a fruit smoothie for my little one. they’re our favorite!
This first thing I would make is this smoothie. I’m always looking for yummy ways to get more “greens” into my child.
I’d make a green smoothie! They’ve been my addiction for the last few weeks.
My mind is racing about what I’d make first if I won this blender!!! Probably a daiquiri since the weather is getting warmer here in NC. Your smoothie looks delicious, I’d make that too! 🙂
If I had this blender, I would make a smoothie of course. I am definitely going to start freezing the individual portion smoothie recipes. It will let me take advantage of local farmers’ produce!
What a gorgeous smoothie, Chung-Ah!
Yum! I love quick morning smoothies….just need an awesome blender to make it easier!
Goods great especially adding the raspberry’s and spinach. Think I would make salsa or hummus. Thanks!
PS: I just found your website to Pinterest, love, love, love your recipes and blog! So friendly and the recipes are fun, and easy to follow! I want to try the “Butter Chicken”! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!!
I’ve been wanting to get into the whole smoothies routine, simply because I want to loose 10 lbs! I want to try out the Blueberry smoothie! My kids would be so jazzed to be making smoothies at any given moment!!
Blueberries, Raspberries, Spinach – oh my!
I’d combine all your ingredients & turn my new “Oster” on high
Then sit back & enjoy a glass so “Damn Delicious”
With my new-found energy ~ my friends will be suspicious!
I would make a smoothing for my son with oats like this one. I’ve been looking for a good recipe that he will like. The last one I made with avocado was not very good. I think that this one with oats and berries would taste yummy!
I’d make these berry smoothies first
i would make something with blueberries and beets for sure
I have been longing to jump on the green smoothie bandwagon. Currently don’t have a blender let alone a strong one. Smoothies first thing I would make.
I would like to make some green smoothies. I would also try making my own nut butters.
This looks delicious! I am continually looking for a smoothie recipe that my kids will enjoy. Think I’ll try this one next!
