Smoothies are a great way to pack in nutrients on a busy weekday, and these freezer smoothie packs make the process seamless. Not only are they quick and easy to make, but you can also customize them to your own taste. If you’re looking for some new freeze-friendly smoothie recipes, I’ve got you covered.

There’s no doubt that smoothies are a delicious and healthy way to start the day, but they can also be expensive if you buy them from a juice bar or restaurant. Preparing your own smoothie packs ahead of time can save you a lot of money and prep time in the long run. In this post, I will provide recipes for four different types of freeze smoothie packs. Let’s get started!

why you’ll love these ready-to-blend smoothie packs

• Convenience. Simply pop one of these bad boys in the blender with some liquid, blend, and enjoy. No prep required!
• Cost-effective. Smoothie packs are a great way to use up leftover fruits and vegetables. You can also buy in bulk when produce is on sale and freeze it for later.
• Customizable. Don’t like one of the ingredients listed in the recipe? Swap it out for something you do like. These recipes are very versatile.
• Quick and easy meal prep. These smoothie packs come together in minutes and can be stored in the freezer for up to two months.
• Great for kids and adults. Smoothies are a great way to sneak in some extra fruits and vegetables into your diet. They’re also perfect for on-the-go mornings or an after-school snack. Kids often view smoothies as a sweet treat rather than a healthy drink, so they’ll be none the wiser.

Ingredients and how to make smoothie packs

Now that we’ve gone over some of the benefits of freeze smoothie packs, let’s get to the recipes! Keep in mind that these are just guidelines. Feel free to swap out ingredients based on your preferences.

For all of these recipes, you will need:

• A high-powered blender
• Reusable freezer bags or containers
• Frozen fruits and vegetables of your choice

Strawberry Banana smoothie

I don’t know if there is a more classic fruit pairing out there than strawberries and bananas. This smoothie is sweet, creamy, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients:

• Strawberries: Choose fresh or frozen strawberries. If using fresh, go ahead and cut them in half before freezing to make blending a little easier.
• Bananas: I prefer to use ripe bananas for this smoothie as they are sweeter and more flavorful. If your bananas are not ripe, you may want to add a touch of honey or maple syrup to sweeten the smoothie.
• Honey: As I mentioned above, honey is a great way to sweeten up this smoothie if your bananas are not ripe.
• Chia seeds: Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, protein, and omega fatty acids. They also help to thicken up the smoothie, so it’s not too runny.
• Milk: You can use any type of milk you like for this smoothie. I usually go for almond milk, but cow’s milk, oat milk, or coconut milk would all work well too.

1. Add the contents of the smoothie bag – strawberries, bananas, and chia seeds to the blender along with the honey and liquid of choice.
2. Process until smooth, adding more liquid as needed to reach your desired smoothie consistency.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

Another classic pairing – chocolate and PB! This one is a crowd pleasure no matter your age. It’s also a great way to get your protein fix in the morning.

Ingredients:

• Bananas: Bananas are really the perfect smoothie fruit. They add natural sweetness and creaminess to the drink. I would recommend using ripe bananas for this smoothie, so it doesn’t need any additional sweetener.
• Peanut butter: You can use any type of peanut butter you like, but I prefer to use all-natural peanut butter without any added sugar.
• Chocolate: For this recipe, I use cocoa powder. I usually go for the cocoa powder because it’s less processed than chocolate chips or bars, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
• Quick oats: Quick oats help to thicken up the smoothie and add some extra fiber and protein. If you don’t have quick oats, you can use rolled oats or even oat bran.
• Milk: Just like with the strawberry banana smoothie, you can use any type of milk for this recipe.

Tropical Mango smoothie

This smoothie is the perfect way to escape the winter blues. It’s sweet, creamy, and packed with tropical flavor.

Ingredients:

• Mango: If mango is not in season, you can use frozen mango. If using fresh mango, make sure to peel and chop it before freezing.
• Banana: Just like with the other smoothies, ripe bananas are best for this recipe.
• Spinach: Baby spinach has a more delicate flavor than its mature counterpart, so it’s perfect for smoothies. If you don’t have baby spinach, you can use regular spinach leaves or even kale.
• Coconut: If you’re feeling up to it, you can use fresh coconut meat. If you don’t want to crack a coconut, then unsweetened coconut flakes work great!
• Ground flaxseeds: In order to get the benefits from flaxseeds, you need to either buy them ground or grind them up. If you get whole, you can grind them in a coffee grinder or food processor.
• Coconut water: You can find coconut water in most grocery stores. If you can’t find it, you can use regular water or even almond milk.

Berry Cherry smoothie

This smoothie is full of antioxidants that are great for your skin and overall health. It’s also a delicious way to start your day!

Ingredients:

• Cherries: Cherries can be a costly fruit, especially when out of season. I like to use fresh cherries in this smoothie when it makes sense, but frozen cherries would work well too. If using fresh, make sure to pit them before freezing.
• Blueberries: Blueberries are a great source of antioxidants, and they add a delicious sweetness to the smoothie.
• Greek yogurt: Protein and probiotics, what more could you want in a breakfast? Greek yogurt is also a great way to add creaminess to the smoothie.
• Honey: If your cherries and blueberries are not ripe, you may want to add a touch of honey to sweeten the smoothie.
• Coconut water: Packed with electrolytes, coconut water is a great way to rehydrate after a workout. If you don’t have coconut water, regular water or almond milk will work just fine.

Tips for making premade smoothie packs

1. Break up large chunks of fruit before blending. Sometimes when these bags freeze, the ingredients can form chunks. Use your hands to break up large pieces to help the blending process will go more smoothly.
2. Add Ice. If you prefer a more frozen consistency on your smoothies, add ½ cup of ice along with your liquid of choice before blending. 
3. Run packet under warm water before blending. This will ensure any seeds or oats stuck to the container are loosened up before adding the contents to the blender.

popular substitutions & additions

• Freeze them in a mason jar. For each of the recipes below, I recommend using 4 pint-sized jars for storing the smoothie packs, which you can then use for drinking the smoothies. Tightly seal and set in the freezer until ready to use. This also makes for one cool cup when you’re ready to drink from me!
• Add protein powder. For more of a meal, you can add in some protein powder to your smoothie. This is a great way to fuel up before or after a workout.
• Substitute fruit. If you don’t like one of the fruits listed in a recipe, feel free to substitute it for another that you do like. Just keep in mind that this may change the flavor and nutrient profile of the smoothie.
• Sneak more leafy greens into your diet. If you’re looking for a way to sneak in some extra greens, add a handful of spinach or kale to any of the smoothies below. You won’t even taste it, I promise!

HOW TO freeze smoothie packs

To freeze smoothie packs, simply place all of the ingredients into a freezer-safe bag or container, and store them in the freezer for up to three months. To save space, I recommend laying the freezer bag flat after sealing and spreading the ingredients out. Place each bag in the freezer flat and wait until frozen. Once frozen, you can use an empty soda box with the top cut off to store and organize all your smoothies in an upright position.

When you’re ready to make your smoothie, simply add the contents of the bag to a blender with your liquid of choice and blend until smooth.
