Make Ahead Smoothies

What’s easier than making a smoothie every morning? Making them once a week and freezing them of course! Try the combinations below or use them as inspiration to make your favorite combination of frozen fruits and greens that you can store in freezer for easy smoothies on-the-go. All you have to do is prep the ingredients, freeze in a Mason jar, freezer bag, or even ice cube trays. When you’re ready to enjoy, just add liquid and your favorite Vega One flavor to the pre-packaged ingredients, blend and enjoy! As originally posted on MyVega.com.

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 or 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.
