I love fruit- it's probably my favorite food group. And one of the reasons I like summer is because so many different fruits are in season. I've recently started making 'smoothie packs' in order to try to hold onto these delish summer flavors a little longer. I have to admit that all of the smoothie packs I've made so far have been blended into a tasty pulp already- but my plan is to make some and then save them so I can enjoy my favorite seasonal fruits well into their off season :)
I prep all my smooth ingredients first. So for this particular batch of smoothies I used:
Cherries (cut in half and pitted)
Sweet potato (cubed and boiled until they are soft)
Mango (cubed)
Spinach
Avocado (cubed)
Blueberry yogurt (thats the only flavor I had)
Banana (sliced)
I put some of each of the ingredients into sandwich bags. This time, I cut up enough stuff to fill three bags about 3/4 of the way full. After everything is in a bag, I put them in the freezer until just before I want to make a smoothie.
When I'm in the mood for a smoothie, I take a bag out of the freezer and let it thaw out just enough so I can break the ingredients apart from each other into big chunks. I put them in the food processor and let it do its thing.
The smoothies are cold, delicious, and taste like summer :)
