Is it ok to prep and freeze my smoothies before blending?

You def can! We are huge fans of smoothie prep as it shaves precious extra minutes off your morning routine, plus it puts the kibosh on any other excuses that stand in the way of you sipping on some healthy green goodness. By using our Make Ahead Smoothie Prep guide, you'll save time and money with just a little bit of work.

If you'd like to make your smoothie ahead of time and freeze it, that's totally ok to do also! Store it in a freezer-safe, airtight container and make sure to leave a bit of room at the top (liquids expand when frozen). It'll thaw in about a day after moving it to the fridge, less if you put it on the counter or in your lunch bag. (Make sure to give it a good shake before you drink it, separation is normal!)

Once you've honed your smoothie prep skills and are ready to level up, check out our DIY Frozen Smoothie Packs on a Budget post and see how Jen created 36 frozen smoothie packs for under $50 using Costco and her fave smoothie recipes.
