Okay this is totally a no brainer!  Like me I am sure you will say “why did I not think of that before”!  You know how at the end of the week you start to notice that it is time to USE IT or LOSE IT (in the trash or compost pile) with some of your spinach, vegetables, fruit etc. Don’t throw it out or make something you are really not in the mood for just to not let it go to waste.  Instead.. do that…. do not let it go to waste and make your INDIVIDUAL SMOOTHIE BAGS!  Yes, yes of course it makes sense to you.  This is exactly what you purchase at the store when you purchase the pre-packaged smoothie packs.  Well you probably already have everything you need and more.

Start by getting your ziploc bag(s) out and ready.  Now get all of the items out of your refrigerator, like berries, beets, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, squash, zucchini, spinach, kale, chia seed, flax seed, hemp seed, matcha powder.  Whatever you want to put in them.  Now grab a small handful of what you want in your smoothie, put it in the ziploc bag and seal.  I do recommend adding a label of some sort.  The label lets anyone in your house who is looking for a quick lift me up in the morning or between meals know what is inside but especially because it lets them know what they need to add like, WATER, ALMOND MILK,  or BANANA MILK (my favorite). I used painters tape to write the ingredients and what needs to be added when you put it in the blender.

So when you are making healthy smoothie using one of your pre-made freezer smoothie bags, you will simply add the liquid ingredient with the baggie contents and blend!

  Once blended. You will know if you need to add a little more water or not. I like to add about 1/2 cup ice and blend. This makes it a little more frozen and smoothie consistency.
