If you struggle with finding a healthy breakfast or snack in the morning and love smoothies, then frozen smoothie packs might be a great fit for you. Instead of buying $8 premade smoothies at the store, take 10 minutes in your week and meal prep some packs based on what you like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post will give you a fun variety of ways to prepare smoothies for the week and also give you options for how to customize each healthy smoothie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why bother prepping smoothies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With make-ahead smoothie bags, all you have to do in the morning is pick your flavor and add your juice, milk, or water. It\u2019s a super-fast way to get a tasty and healthy breakfast or snack when you\u2019re hungry. This is perfect for those mornings when you need to eat, but are still in a daze. Low effort, high reward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These frozen smoothie packs are also a great way to use up some leftover vegetables, berries, or other fruit you have in the fridge too. I like to purchase bulk greens and produce at Costco, but sometimes I don\u2019t have enough time to eat everything before it spoils. These make-ahead smoothie recipes give you an option to meal prep smoothies for the future and also save an abundance of food from going bad by freezing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever stepped foot in a smoothie shop, then you know how much smoothies at juice bars can add up over time. Prepping one smoothie bag saves me about $7-$8 for a 16 oz smoothie at my local juice bar. If I meal prep for at least 5 days of smoothies, I\u2019m saving at least $35 per week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying produce in bulk will also give you some more savings because you\u2019ll be able to make more smoothies–just make sure you have enough freezer space! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
