Notes

  • My Top Tip: Get in the habit of freezing fruit that's getting too ripe. Store it in a freezer-safe bag so it's ready when you're in the mood to make a smoothie.
  • Storage: The smoothie tastes best immediately after you make it. If you have any leftovers, store in an airtight mason jar in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezing: Place the green smoothie in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and enjoy.
