These frozen smoothie packs are a convenient, healthy breakfast solution that can be prepped ahead and blended quickly for busy mornings. They combine frozen fruits, greens, and nutritious boosters for a delicious and nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) per pack
  • 1 medium banana, sliced into thin coins (about 1/4 inch thick)
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh baby spinach, packed (optional kale leaves, torn and destemmed)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut-based yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the banana into thin coins (about 1/4 inch / 6 mm thick). Measure about 1 cup (150g) of frozen mixed berries.
  2. Rinse baby spinach or kale well and pat dry. For kale, remove tough stems and tear leaves into smaller pieces for easier blending.
  3. On a clean surface, lay out your freezer bags. Add the frozen berries, banana slices, and greens per pack. Typically, one pack equals one serving.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed into each bag.
  5. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. If you prefer sweeter smoothies, add about 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
  6. Remove as much air as possible from each bag before sealing. Label with the date and contents.
  7. Lay the bags flat in the freezer for 3-4 hours until solid.
  8. To make your smoothie, dump the contents of one pack into your blender. Add about 1/2 cup (120ml) of Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk or milk alternative.
  9. Blend starting on low speed, then increase to high for about 45-60 seconds. Scrape down the sides once or twice to ensure thorough mixing.
  10. If too thick, add more milk in small increments (1-2 tablespoons) and blend again. Serve immediately.

Notes

If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the packs sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before blending. Blending in pulses helps avoid overheating the blender motor. Label packs with date to prevent freezer burn and use oldest packs first. Adjust liquid amounts to achieve desired smoothie consistency. For vegan/dairy-free versions, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk.
