• For a refreshing twist, try adding a splash of lemon juice or a few mint leaves.
• If you’re short on time, prep your ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge.

How to Serve

This smoothie is perfect on its own, but you can also serve it in a bowl topped with:

Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re like me and love to plan ahead, you’ll be happy to know that this smoothie can be made in advance. Here’s how:

• Prepare the smoothie and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
• If you want to keep it fresh for longer, consider freezing it in individual portions. Just blend it again after thawing for the best texture.
• For a quick breakfast option, you can also prep smoothie packs by portioning out the ingredients (except for the liquid) in freezer bags. In the morning, just add your liquid and blend!
