Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Course: Drinks, Smoothie
Cuisine: American
Calories: 220

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh spinach leaves
  • Ripe bananas
  • Fresh pineapple chunks
  • Optional add-ins chia seeds, flaxseeds, protein powder, ginger, etc.
  • Liquid of choice added at blending time, not frozen

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cups
  • Freezer-safe zip-top bags or reusable silicone freezer bags
  • Permanent marker or labels
  • Blender (used when ready to serve)

Method
 

  1. Wash and prep produce
  2. Rinse spinach thoroughly under cold water and pat dry. Peel bananas and slice them into even rounds. Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into small chunks.
  3. Set up your workspace
  4. Lay out freezer bags on a clean counter. Decide on portion sizes—typically one bag equals one smoothie serving.
  5. Add greens first
  6. Place a generous handful of spinach into each freezer bag. Packing greens at the bottom helps them freeze flat and evenly.
  7. Add fruit
  8. Divide banana slices evenly among the bags, followed by pineapple chunks. Keep proportions consistent for uniform flavor across packets.
  9. Include optional add-ins
  10. Sprinkle in any dry boosters like seeds or powders. Avoid adding liquids or yogurt at this stage.
  11. Seal and flatten
  12. Press out as much air as possible from each bag before sealing. Flatten the packets so they stack easily and freeze faster.
  13. Label and freeze
  14. Write the date and contents on each bag. Place them flat in the freezer and freeze until solid.
  15. Blend when ready
  16. When ready to enjoy, empty one packet into a blender, add your liquid of choice, blend until smooth, and serve immediately.
