Make ahead tip for a sunrise strawberry smoothie:

If you like to have a smoothie in the morning, but are crunched for time, consider making this ahead of time.

  1. Buy the ingredients in the amount that you would need for 3-4 smoothies.
  2. Take 3-4 freezer Ziploc baggies (quart or sandwich bag size).
  3. Portion the ingredients according to a single serving in each bag (minus the ice).
  4. Squeeze out all air when sealing.
  5. Store in your freezer til you are ready to make the smoothie.
  6. When ready to make pour all contents of the baggies into a blender and simply add water or milk to smooth it out the consistency you prefer.

This is a great way to have some breakfast meal prep done really quickly.

Variations

  • Berries: Try adding, or substituting, berries other than fresh strawberries — try raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
  • Chia: Chia seed can be a great healthy addition to this smoothie.
  • Almond milk: For a little bit of nutty flavor, pour in a splash of unsweetened almond milk.
  • Sweetener: If you want a sweeter smoothie, try using honey or your favorite alternative sweetener.
  • Greens: Experiment with adding kale or spinach.
  • Citrus: For bright flavor, and added vitamin C, try adding grapefruit juice, lemon juice, or oj.
  • Thickness: We think this smoothie has the perfect consistency, but if you want it to be thicker, try adding medium bananas. For a thinner smoothie add more liquid like water, milk, or alternative milk products like coconut milk or almond milk.
  • Fruit: Boost the fiber content with even more fruit. Try mango or pineapple for tropical flavors. Or, consider adding watermelon for a unique twist.
  • Extracts: For nuanced flavor, try adding your favorite extract — vanilla and almond both work well.
  • Ginger: Starting the day with a bit of ginger is great for digestive health.
