We use this Ninja Smoothie Blender EVERY day! My daughter is a smoothie lover and has one each morning! This smoothie maker is so easy, it’s simple for her to add her ingredients and blend her smoothie. The blender cup can also be your smoothie cup; no need to dirty up another dish!

Are green smoothies good for you?

• Loaded with Nutrients – Green Smoothies include powerful leafy greens such as spinach and kale, which provide Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin K!
• Great for Energy – Fruits such as bananas and pineapples give you natural sugars and fibers to keep you going!
• Quick and Easy – Smoothies are ready to eat in less than 5 minutes, which is a win in the morning. They can also be prepped ahead, making them fantastic for meal prep!
• Kid-Approved – Green Smoothies don’t taste like veggies, so these are perfect to get some vital nutrients into the kids without them tasting them!

This Healthy Mango Smoothie or Blueberry Oat Smoothie is another great smoothie option if you’d like a non-green smoothie too.

How do you Meal Prep a Simple Green Smoothie Recipe?

If you want to make a meal-prep smoothie, use a freezer-safe Ziploc Storage Bag. Add all the ingredients into your bag except the liquid ingredients, in this case the milk and yogurt.

Label the bag with the date and what to add, for example, milk and yogurt.

Place the bag in the freezer for up to 3 months or until you are ready to make the smoothie.

When it’s time to make the smoothie, simply add the ingredients to the blender along with the liquid.
