frozen smoothie packs — took me ages to actually do this
Right so I've been meaning to prep these for about three summers running and finally just did it. Basically I portioned out smoothie ingredients into freezer bags and now morning me is absolutely sorted.
What's in mine at the moment:
- 1 small banana (sliced before freezing, obviously)
- handful of frozen mango chunks
- big handful of spinach — you genuinely can't taste it
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- roughly 150ml oat milk to blend, added fresh
You just tip the bag into the blender, add your liquid, done. Takes about 90 seconds. I've been adding a scoop of collagen powder most mornings too — I started doing it mainly because I noticed my nails were looking a bit rough, and it blends in completely so there's no texture weirdness.
Nutritionally speaking this is actually a decent breakfast rather than just a fruit hit — the flaxseed brings fibre and some omega-3, the banana gives you potassium and a decent amount of fast carbs if you're heading out for a walk or run, and the spinach adds iron and folate without really affecting the taste. Roughly 280–320 kcal per portion depending on your milk and what else you add. Not a meal replacement but honestly holds me until 10:30 or so.
The trick is doing the bags on a Sunday. I did eight in one go, took maybe 15 minutes, and now the freezer is just ready. Miso was extremely in the way the entire time, mind.
