Notes:

• This recipe is just a guide to make up the bags. There are so many ingredients you could choose to add to your smoothie. Change up the fruit, add some protein powder, try some different seeds like Chia seeds or add some honey.
• There is also a whole range of milks that you can use in a smoothie now. Try low-fat soy, almond or skim milk to keep healthy.
• Green vegetables such as spinach are a perfect addition to a smoothie but these are not freezeable. Just grab a handful and throw the leaves in when you are blending.
