Life can get hectic. We all have those weeks when the only way to make it through the day is with a drink in hand. (No…not that kind of drink!) Im talking about cool, quick, refreshing smoothie recipes. Smoothies are an easy way to pack in a speedy and nutritious breakfast before you take on the day. And when you really want to put your morning routine into hyperdrive, a little prep work can make this easy meal even easier.
In the fridge: store your smoothies or smoothie ingredients in the fridge for 1-2 days before using them. In the freeze: you can store smoothies or smoothie ingredients in the freezer for up to 3 months. They’re perfect for prepping ahead of time and enjoying week after week.
