In reply to Bernadette Dizzine. Use lower carb fruits with more fiber like berries.

Melissa …thank you for such a great idea about making smoothie bags. I’ve recently frozen fruit in large bags then picked out what i want in the smoothie. But your way sounds so much better. I try maing my smoothie for lunch …so i wont be tempted to eat to much bread. It seems to help keep me satisfied till dinner. Thank you for your smoothie recipe book…can’t wait to try some of them!

I blend a big batch of smoothies and pour into Ball brand re-washable freezer “jars and stack them in the freezer. Get them out of the freezer in the morning and by mid morning or lunch – they are ready to drink! Grab and go and no wasted baggies…a bit more “green”.

At first the whole thing looked too daunting but I loved how it turned out. Not only was the work way easier, I knew what was in it and knowing how much healthy stuff I was drinking just made me happier. Thank you for this.

In reply to deb c. That's such a great idea! I want to try this for quick mornings on the run! When it comes to my blender I just add a little water to the bottom of the jar once I pour out my smoothie, pop it back on the base and let it blend for a little bit. It swishes the water around really well then I give it all a quick rinse and let it dry. I rarely wash it with soap and water because it just doesn't need it! If I wait and let my smoothie dry on the edges though it horrible to clean!

In reply to AnnaBanana. Did you add just normal frozen spinach (that comes in the block from the store?) or fresh spinach that you froze? The frozen spinach from the store has been blanched and that cooking process does make it yucky in smoothies. I think you should try this method because I promise you'll love it! I just used the prebagged raw store spinach for these smoothies and it's great. Let me know if you try it!

In reply to L. Ok, I did some digging and most people don't recommend it because of texture changes (aka it turns to green slime when you thaw it). I think if it's safe to eat it raw then it would be safe to eat it frozen, I can't think of any risk associated with it at all.

In reply to Beka. Indeed friend! I'll be honest friend, that nail polish was one I wouldn't have picked. My 4 year old gave it to me for my birthday and insisted on painting my nails that day. I actually really like it now though. It's from our store! I should send you a bottle :)
