Notes

Tip
This recipe is just a guide to make up the bags.
Tip
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.
Variation
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.
Variation
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.
Storage
Freeze packs until required.
