5 Easy steps to create a freezer full of delicious smoothies!
|
|
|||||||
|
|
||||||||
1-
|
Decide how many batches you would like to make (If you are purchasing your fruit already frozen; 4 batches results in the least amount of unused frozen fruit). Each batch makes 6 different smoothies with approximately 2 servings each.
|
|
|||||||
|
|
||||||||
2-
|
Enter the number of batches you would like to make into the Excel grocery list (or multiply each item on the grocery list by the number of batches you plan to make).
|
|
|||||||
|
|
||||||||
3-
|
Go Shopping
|
|
|||||||
|
|
||||||||
4-
|
Freeze lemon juice, lime juice, syrup, pineapple, and yogurts in icecube trays (freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight).
|
|
|||||||
|
|
||||||||
5-
|
Print smoothie recipes and labels. Assemble each smoothie packet according to recipe instructions in a quart size freezer bag; attach label.
|
|
|||||||
|
|
||||||||
*Remember, smoothies are NOT an exact science so don’t worry if you don’t have all the right ingredients or the right amounts, you can always improvise! I ran out of strawberries so I added blueberries to make up the difference!

5- Assemble each smoothie packet according to recipe instructions in a quart size freezer bag; attach label. Remember, smoothies are NOT an exact science so don’t worry if you don’t have all the right ingredients or the exact amounts, you can always improvise! I wanted to use the strawberries I had frozen rather than purchasing bags of strawberries but I ended up not having quite enough so I added blueberries to make up the difference.

I recommend getting everything out and ready before you begin as things will begin to thaw quickly!

I put all the fruit for the recipe I was assembling in a bowl so it was quick and easy to distribute

After all your bags are full lay them flat and remove as much air as possible before sealing.
