Meal Prep Smoothies Are Your Snacking Secret Weapon

Keep your freezer stocked with pre-measured, pre-frozen smoothie packs so you can make a nutritious smoothie for breakfast or a snack in under one minute. By pre-portioning ingredients into single-serving bags, you simply need to dump the frozen contents of a bag into a blender, add some liquid and let it whirl. When a smoothie hits the spot, you’ll thank yourself for being so prepared and having a healthy snack within reach.

If you’re looking for a low-cost way to enjoy smoothies, like the ones you’d get in a freezer smoothie subscription, such as Daily Harvest, Smoothie Box, or Revive Superfoods, you can use these recipes to make your own and save a lot of cash. Use these simple freezer smoothie ideas to make DIY Daily Harvest smoothie recipes at home.

Can You Freeze Smoothies?

Yes! While you definitely can freeze an already-prepared smoothie, it makes a lot more sense to freeze ready-to-blend smoothie packs. Already blended smoothies that are put in the freezer tend to crystalize and then become watery as they melt again to room temperature. But if your goal is to have a grab-and-go healthy smoothie within a few minutes, then having these meal prep smoothie packs in your freezer are the perfect solution. Your smoothies will taste fresh and be the right drinking consistency as soon as you quickly blend them up with liquid.
