Notes

I always recommend organic produce whenever possible. Organic produce is free of harmful chemicals and pesticides

Can I add other ingredients like protein powder or nut butter?
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.
