SMOOTHIE TIP

If you find it hard to make time in the morning, or even throughout the day, to prep and make your smoothies consider pre-cutting your ingredients and storing them in a mason jar or the single serving container that comes with your blender.

Adding any liquids or ice should be done at the time you make your smoothie. If you have a blender that does single serving smoothies this technique can save you a lot of time. Many blender blades will screw onto a mason jar as well if your blender does not come with a single serving size container.

You can even get lids with an opening for a straw to fit mason jars as well.

These tips can save you time when you're in a rush and still want to get in all your fruit and vegetable goodness.
