Smoothie Making Tips and Tricks
- A high-speed blender like a Ninja Foodi Personal Blender creates the smoothest texture
- If using a regular blender, chop celery and apples into smaller pieces first
- Freeze ripe bananas ahead of time for creamier smoothies
- Taste and adjust sweetness depending on your pineapple and banana ripeness
- Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture
Storage and Freezing
- To Store: You can store any of your leftover smoothie mixture in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving since natural separation may occur. However, this smoothie is best enjoyed after blending.
- To Freeze: If you wish to freeze your smoothie mixture, you can do so by pouring the smoothie into freezer-safe containers or ice cube trays and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or re-blend before serving.
- Smoothie Meal Prep Packs: This smoothie is perfect for meal prepping for easy mornings. To do so, simply portion spinach, pineapple, banana, celery, and chia seeds into freezer bags ahead of time. When ready to make your smoothie, simply add coconut water and blend.
