FAQs
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Absolutely! However, if you do use fresh fruit, you may want to add a handful of ice to the blender to give the smoothie a thicker, creamier texture.
Can I make these smoothies in advance?
Yes! That’s the beauty of using Ziploc bags. Simply make the smoothie, pour it into a bag, and store it in the freezer until you’re ready to drink it. When you’re ready to enjoy, just thaw the bag in the fridge or under running water for a few minutes and you’re good to go!
Can I add protein powder to these smoothies?
Absolutely! Protein powder is a great way to add extra nutrition and staying power to your smoothies. Just make sure to blend it in thoroughly with the other ingredients.
Can I use a regular plastic bag instead of a Ziploc bag?
While you technically could, we recommend using Ziploc bags because they are specifically designed to be freezer-safe and prevent freezer burn. This ensures that your smoothies will taste fresh and delicious every time.
Can I use milk instead of almond milk?
Yes! You can use any type of milk you like in these recipes. Just keep in mind that some milks (like coconut milk) will give the smoothie a slightly different flavor.
Can I add vegetables to these smoothies?
Absolutely! Adding vegetables like spinach or kale is a great way to sneak some extra nutrition into your smoothies. Just make sure to blend them in thoroughly with the other ingredients.
How long can I keep these smoothies in the freezer?
We recommend consuming the smoothies within 1-2 months of freezing for optimal freshness.
Can I use a blender bottle instead of a glass?
Yes! Blender bottles are a great way to take your smoothies on the go. Just make sure to pour the thawed smoothie into the bottle and give it a good shake before drinking.
Can I customize these recipes?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different fruits, veggies, and other ingredients to create your own unique smoothie creations.
