To Make Smoothie Freezer Packs:
For each individual smoothie flavor place all components except for almond/coconut milk in plastic bag and flatten and press any air out of the bag. You can use a straw to suck the air out, just be careful not to do this if you're using any cacao powder.
Repeat this recipe for a total of 6 smoothies per flavor. Place in the freezer until ready to use.
To Blend Smoothies:
Combine all ingredients, including specified milk, in a high-speed blender. Add protein powder, if using (see note)
Blend until creamy, adding additional almond milk if necessary.
- If the tropical mixed fruit at your store has banana included skip it and instead get 16 ounces mango, 16 ounces pineapple, and 16 ounces strawberry.
- Freezer packs will last around 1-3 months. After significant period of time of longer than a month the bananas start to get brown. That's when you'll know it's time to use them up!

I always add a scoop of protein powder right before blending. I really like these clean options: Truvani

- Where should I shop? We recommend purchasing fruit at a large box store that offers organic frozen fruits like Costco, BJ’s, or Trader Joe’s. Amazon Fresh also has some great options for bulk fruit.
-
- Want to reduce waste and save even more money? Store your smoothie packs in reusable freezer-safe silicone bags! Then, instead of constantly purchasing disposable plastic freezer bags, you can simply rinse them out and use them over and over again.
-
- Want to speed up prep time? Use bag openers to hold the bags open, and create an assembly line, filling each bag quickly.
-
- Use labels and/or Sharpies to label and date each smoothie pack. This is especially useful when meal prepping and helps ensure you know what flavor you’re making and that none of the packs go bad!
-
- Have some leftover smoothie? We like to pour any leftover smoothie into a popsicle mold. Then, you can enjoy a frozen treat later. Smoothie popsicles are a big hit with kids! Keep in mind that smoothie pops are best consumed within a few days of making them.
