Smoothie Question!

I love smoothies, but sometimes I can't make them in the morning. If I were to make a smoothie overnight and refrigerate it, do you think it would still taste good? Would it last? Usually I put spinach, bananas, sometimes soy or coconut milk, blueberries, PB2, etc

    Yep! If you are using a blender they should be able to last a few days.

    I've never done it, but I think it would be fine. If anything you use is frozen (I use fruit that I have frozen) it's going to be thinner because it will melt. But I know people who make a larger batch of smoothies in the morning and then drink them throughout the day.

    I put my extra in a big old peanut butter glass jar and drink it the next day too. Just give it a shake and good to go.

    However, the longer it goes from natural ingredients to shake to your tummy, the more nutrients are lost. Anything more than a day or two is better than nothing but not fresh and healthful.

    I like to make a big batch of smoothies at once and freeze them in individual jars (just make sure you leave room for expansion!) and thaw them in the fridge overnight so they're ready to go in the morning. When I pull one out of the fridge each morning, I take one from the freezer and stick it in the fridge so its ready for the next day. Super easy!
