Ingredients

Berry Darling Smoothie:
½ banana, peeled (Tip: never let a banana go to waste again; this is a great way to use those almost too ripe bananas!)

1 cup spinach
Juice of ½ lime
1 cup coconut water

½ banana (optional)
All the Green Things Smoothie:
1 cup pineapple
½ of a cucumber
2 cups spinach
½ cup parsley
1½ cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
1 serving Vega All-in-one or Protein Made Simple

Package pre-measured ingredients in a freezer bag or glass Mason jar.
Freeze.
When you’re ready to enjoy, add to blender with the Vega protein of your choice and liquid.
Up too early to turn the blender on?

You can blend any of these smoothies ahead of time, divided into ice cube trays and freeze for a blender-free smoothie. When you’re ready to enjoy, just thaw a cup full of smoothie cubes and enjoy. I like to pop some into a Mason jar, seal it and take it with me to work. By the time I arrive, all it needs is a straw to be ready to enjoy.
