  • Question
    Can smoothies be frozen to eat later?
    Community Answer
    It's better to refrigerate (not freeze) them if you would like to save them for later. This keeps them cold, but does not turn them into a chunk of ice. If you want your leftover smoothie to seem fresher, pour it back in the blender and mix for a few seconds after taking it out of the refrigerator.

    Not at all. I add a healthy handful of spinach or kale to my smoothies regularly, blending well with the liquid before adding the frozen fruit and/or ice.

    Well, the smoothie might be a little chunky, but you can always thin it out by adding a little more milk. It really depends on the consistency you prefer.

    No, you don't need ice if your fruit is frozen.

    Instead of yogurt, can I use milk?

    You could, but that would make it a milkshake, and not as healthy as a smoothie.

    If you want a cold smoothie, you can use a little ice. But it's not necessary.

    Can I use peanut butter in a smoothie?

    Yes you can. Try having a smoothie with bananas and peanut butter. Just add it to your blender with the other ingredients.
  • Question
    How can I use apple, watermelon, and pineapple for a smoothie?
    Community Answer
    For digestion reasons, it's best to have watermelon separate. With the remaining apple and pineapple, try a green smoothie. Start with your greens (spinach, kale, cucumber, lettuce, basically any greens), blend that up first with some water just to make sure it's all smooth before adding the remaining ingredients. Then you throw in the pineapple and apple, and voila. For more nutrients, add a teaspoon of spirulina powder.
  • Question
    Can I just use one fruit in a smoothie?
    Community Answer
    Sure. You can do anything you like with your smoothie. If you use just one kind of fruit, just be sure to use enough of it for the flavor to be readily tasted.
