DIY Frozen Smoothie Packs
If you're always rushing out the door in the morning, frozen smoothie packs are about to change your breakfast game. All you need is a little prep time on the weekend and you'll have a healthy, grab-and-go breakfast ready to blend all week long. I make a big batch of these every week for myself — and trust me, once you start, you won't go back. Mix and match your favorite fruits, veggies, and add-ins to create a smoothie pack that's completely your own!
Ingredients
Smoothie Pack Ingredients:
- ½ cup yogurt of your choice, (Greek yogurt, plant-based yogurt, regular yogurt, flavored yogurt)
- 1 scoop protein powder of your choice, (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc.)
- –2 tablespoons add-ins of your choice, (hemp seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, cocoa powder, matcha powder, beet powder, collagen powder, nut butter, spices like cinnamon)
- 1 cup chopped fruit of your choice, (banana, berries, mango, peach, apple, pineapple, kiwi, or a mixture)
- Optional: ½ cup chopped vegetables of your choice, (spinach, kale, cauliflower rice, cooked sweet potatoes, zucchini, cooked carrots, cucumber, cooked beets, avocado)
Add When Ready to Blend:
- 1 cup liquid of your choice, (almond milk, soy milk, dairy milk, oat milk, coconut water, orange juice, apple juice)
- Optional: sweetener of your choice, (1 pitted Medjool date, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, or a few drops liquid stevia)
Instructions
Instructions:
- Stir the yogurt together with protein powder and any add-ins until well combined. Spoon the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid, typically overnight.
- Add the fruit and vegetables to a freezer-safe bag or container. Once the yogurt cubes are frozen, add them to the bag. Seal and store in the freezer until ready to use.
- When ready to make your smoothie, add the smoothie pack contents to a blender along with the liquid and optional sweetener.
- Blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if needed to help it blend.
