The trick to meal prepping smoothies is to make freezer packs. Simply switch the contents of your freezer pack proper in your blender, add a little bit liquid and purée. Your morning smoothie is able to go in lower than 5 minutes.
You may Want
- 5 cups (1.25 L) frozen pitted candy cherries
- 15 ice cubes
- 10 tbsp (155 mL) uncooked almonds, coarsely chopped
- 11 ⁄4 tsp (6 mL) zero-calorie stevia sweetener (comparable to Truvia or Splenda)
- 1 ⁄2 tsp (2 mL) plus 1 ⁄8 tsp (0.5 mL) floor cinnamon
- 5 cups (1.25 L) unsweetened almond milk, divided
- Blender
Make It
- In every of 5 zip-top plastic baggage, add 1 cup (250 mL) of the cherries, 3 of the ice cubes, 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the almonds, 1 ⁄4 tsp (1 mL) of the sweetener and 1 ⁄8 tsp (0.5 mL) of the cinnamon.
TO STORE: Seal, label and date the baggage. Freeze for as much as 2 months.
TO SERVE: Take away a bag from the freezer and pour the contents into the blender. Add 1 cup (250 mL) of the almond milk and mix till easy. Pour right into a tall glass and luxuriate in.
TOBY’S TIP | Do not forget to cut the nuts earlier than freezing. As soon as you’re taking them out of the freezer they are going to be robust to cut and a few blenders might not have the ability to deal with them entire.
