Smoothie Prep

Do smoothie prep as often as you like.  Buy lots of ingredients and make bags to last you for a while.  
When it's time to make a smoothie take a bag out of the freezer and let thaw for a few minutes.  Add ingredients to your blender along with your desired liquid like coconut or almond milk.  

When doing smoothie prep there are no wrong ingredients, the only criteria is healthy.  Have some broccoli that might go bad if you don't cook it?  Add it to your baggies.  Don't let anything go to waste.

Don't worry so much about the taste of the smoothie because of the ingredients, most of the time you won't taste anything but the sweet ingredients.  So add your needed veggies/leafy greens and then include some fruit to camouflage the taste and you are all set.  Note:  do not over do it on the sweet ingredients, you'll want to measure those.

When making the smoothies make sure you research and find the ingredients that you need the most.  For instance, if you are low in potassium you could add bananas or black strap unsulphured organic molasses.

Add some fun extras that are good for you like ground flax and chia seed, ginger, lemon, cooked beans, nuts(be sure to count them), cayenne pepper(a little goes a long way), etc.
