Notes
Absolutely! Customize the smoothie to suit your taste and dietary preferences. Can I make a batch of smoothies for the week ahead?
It’s best to consume the smoothie fresh for maximum nutrient benefits, but you can refrigerate it for one day. However, keep in mind that separation may occur due to the natural settling of ingredients. Give it a quick stir before consuming. Can I freeze the smoothie for later consumption?
Yes! Even freezing it in popsicle molds will make a refreshing pop for those hot summer days.

What is the serving size for this recipe?
Barbara says
Hi Kara,
Great question. Thank you for visiting.
A serving size can be anywhere from 8 oz. to 16 oz. You can store the remainder in the refrigerator. My husband and I have been drinking about a quart of green smoothies over the course of a day for about a year. It’s best to drink them on an empty stomach. We have noticed that as our diets have gotten cleaner, our digestion is better, our bodies are better able to fight infection and we don’t crave as many calories. We’ve each lost about 15 – 20 lbs. easily. So you may want to start small and work your way up.
