Smoothie Preparation Tips
We love having smoothie recipe ingredients on hand so that whenever the smoothie mood strikes, we’re ready.
- Cut fruit up ahead of time: One of the easiest ways to prep for this ahead of time is to cut up your favorite fruit to use in healthy smoothies and get it in the freezer. If you haven’t checked out our posts on how to freeze bananas and berries, do it now!
- Protein: Keep protein powder or collagen powder on hand at all times.
- Frozen veggies are key: if you’re trying to get more veggies, try keeping frozen spinach or cauliflower in your freezer.
Breakfast Smoothies Tips
Cut up and freeze fruit in Stasher Bags, meal prep containers or Ziplocs so you have it on hand when you want to make a smoothie
Choose a protein powder with a clean label. We’ve done the legwork for you and tested the most popular on the market. HERE are some of our faves.
Rolled oats are a great way to add nutrients, whole grains, and a little thickness to your smoothie
Healthy fats are another great addition to smoothies. A little peanut butter goes a long way!
Invest in a high-quality blender (we LOVE our Vitamix) so you don’t have to worry about getting any chunks in your smoothie!
We really mean it, get your sweet self a quality blender — it’s seriously one of the best kitchen investments we’ve made.
We have a Vitamix, and love it because it acts as a blender, food processor and mixer all in one, basically getting the exact texture we’re looking for every. single. time.
