Lately, I've been on a bit of a smoothie kick and I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite flavor combinations with you!
Frozen raspberries, frozen peaches, almond milk, ground flax seed and a pinch of cinnamon!
Frozen peaches, frozen green yogurt, almond milk.
A spoonful of peanut butter, spinach leaves, coconut frozen yogurt and half a frozen banana.
Beet juice and fresh watermelon blended into a refreshing, sweet juice!
I like to make pre-made smoothie packs to save time and reduce wasted preduce. Simply fill plastic sandwich bags with fresh ingredients and put them in the freezer (be sure to label them)! When you're ready to make smoothies you'll only need to add a liquid, like almond milk or coconut water, before blending! Try it next time you have extra fruit and greens around the kitchen!

I make these all the time and it’s so fast and easy when you prepare them in advance. Just throw all your dry ingredients into a freezer bag put them into freezer and take one out anytime you want a smoothie just add your milk and or juice, and yogurt of your choice. They keep very well in your freezer and now you don’t have to worry about your fruits and spinach spoiling before you have time to use them up! I also like to sometimes add a scoop of peanut butter and usually always add cinnamon and cayenne pepper as the pepper is suppose to speed up your metabolism.
Love smoothies, but I hate putting veggies in them. I don’t mind the taste (or really, there’s usually no taste anyway), but I can’t stand the texture. I never seem to be able to get spinach to puree smooth enough. I have a pretty good blender too. But I get loads of veggies throughout the day anyway, so I don’t worry about it.
The first one with raspberries and peaches looks fantastic! I love adding cinnamon to smoothies.
I was surprised, but I’ve added kale, spinach, and carrots in the smoothies along with fruit and I cannot taste the veggies…love the idea of the antioxidants and VITAMINS in leafy greens giving me a boost in the am!!NICIA
Thanks for every other fantastic article. The place else may anybody get that kind of info in such a perfect method of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m at the search for such info.

if people would read the whole thing, it clearly says “put in the freezer” which means freeze. I also wonder if the spinach will stay good frozen, I will have to google that.
Great idea! I will try it!
Thanks for posting.
I just read about your smoothie packs on Refiner 29 and I must say what a simple genius idea. Filing that one under why didn’t I think of that!?
Oh, that raspberry-peach-almond-cinnamon combo sounds wonderful!
Banana+peaches+spinach+coconut milk is to die for! Thank you for great ideas!!!
all of these sound delicious! those pre-made packs are a really great idea.
loved the spinach, peanut butter and banana smoothie. Delicious. I used vanilla yogurt instead of the coconut frozen yogurt and it turned out really well!
Thanks!

I love the idea of the prepacked bags for smoothie. Going to so use that. My family and I drink smoothies all the time.
Wow, you have really done a lot of smoothie-ing. The beet juice and the raspberry ones look fantastic to me. And pre-package the ingredients is such a good idea.
Love the idea of “smoothie packs”! These all sound really good. I never considered using frozen Greek yogurt. I’ll have to try that! I really like adding in frozen grapes to my smoothies, and I just recently discovered frozen acai puree.
Ahh this is actually genius! Thank you so much for doing this, definitely trying it out some time soon! 🙂
they sound delicious! i finally have my hands on a blender & i can’t wait to try some of these (well, when the weather warms up at least!)
