Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup honey (optional)
- 1 cup spinach (optional, for extra nutrients)
Instructions
- Start by rinsing all the berries under cold water and allowing them to dry completely.
- Divide the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and banana slices evenly among four freezer-safe ziplock bags.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt into each bag. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add a small drizzle of honey as well.
- If using spinach, add a small handful to each bag for a nutritional boost. This is a great way to sneak in some extra greens for the family!
- Seal the bags, removing as much air as possible, and lay them flat in the freezer. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To prepare a smoothie, simply empty the contents of one ziplock bag into a blender. Add about 1 cup of your favorite liquid (such as almond milk, orange juice, or coconut water) and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a glass, enjoy immediately, and savor the fresh, sweet, and creamy delight!
Helpful Tips
- Customize Your Smoothies: Feel free to swap out any of the berries with your favorite fruits like peaches, mangoes, or pineapples. Each variation brings its unique flavor profile and nutritional benefits.
- Bulk Prep: Double or triple the recipe to stock up for the whole month without added effort.
- Texture Perfection: For a thicker smoothie, add a little less liquid or include a handful of ice cubes when blending.
Storage Instructions and Substitutions
Your Mixed Berry Smoothie Packs can be neatly stacked in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you’re out of Greek yogurt, substitute with regular yogurt or a plant-based alternative. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a vegan option, and spinach can be substituted with kale or omitted if preferred.
Pairings
These vibrant smoothies pair wonderfully with a hearty breakfast sandwich, a side of avocado toast, or a handful of nuts and seeds for an extra protein boost. For a refreshing drink option, these smoothies are excellent with a splash of crisp, cold water or chilled herbal tea.
