Freeze-Ahead Green Smoothie: The Video
This is my favorite smoothie to make in the morning. It’s an easy way to sneak some greens in without eating a salad. I make a bunch of smoothie packets for my freezer in advance – like 14 of them – and then I just dump one of them in the blender in the morning for a breakfast that is quick, filling, and totally delicious.
If you want something a little more green, try adding an extra cup of chopped kale. I personally recommend lacinato kale because it’s easier to prep and freeze, and it has a less bitter taste.
