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.
