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.

The nutritional facts states 204calories for 1/2 serving? Am I reading that correctly? So the smoothie as it’s prepared is 408 calories?
That is correct!
Yeah it was a lil misleading to think the whole thing was only 200 and some odd calories. It’s a breakfast smoothie so you’d eat 400+ at breakfast anyway if you had eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast. JS
Breakfast smoothies are the best.
thank you this is A life changer.
I’ve made this twice now. It’s my first time trying any sort of meal replacement drink. Taste wise, it’s really well done. I’ve never been a big fruit person, but this is a nice balance of fruit and peanut butter (which I had my doubts about first).
What is the best way to preserve/store half of it for a day or two? How well does it keep and should it be frozen or will it maintain its texture if it’s kept in a refrigerator overnight?
In my opinion, I like to drink my smoothies immediately! However, you could store it in the fridge and then blend it with a few ice cubes the next day!
Delicious and easy to make!
Hi I tried asking in another comment but would you use applesauce instead of bananas? And how many cubes of applesauce?
This smoothie taste soo good!
I’m finding that a lot of your most delicious looking smoothies have bananas in them. Unfortunately, I really really can’t stand bananas. Do you have any suggestions for what I could substitute for a banana, or any ingredients that typically mask their smell/taste? Thank you!
Hi! You can freeze cubes of applesauce or even use ice!
How many cubes of applesauce and do you still put the banana in also or just the ice cubes of applesauce?
Used almond butter and gluten-free quick 1 minute oats because of allergies and what I had available. You could taste the almond butter and wasn’t as sweet as the peanut butter might have been but just as good. Also, used Purely Inspired Organic Protein Powder. Loved It!
Love your swaps!
Hi, would this still work without the protein powder?
Absolutely!
