How to Make a Spinach Smoothie
Spinach Smoothie Q&A
Storage
If you don’t mind that your smoothie isn’t very very cold, you can leave a smoothie in the fridge over night. It tends to develop a green foam on top from the spinach, but give it a stir and drink it down! You can also keep this smoothie in the refrigerator overnight and blend it up again with 1/2 cup of frozen tropical fruit to thicken it up.
To Freeze
You can freeze a smoothie in a covered glass jar or in ice cube trays.
If you use ice cube trays just place the ice cubes in the blender with orange juice and blend until smooth. If you freeze the smoothie in a glass, let it thaw and enjoy. Or, once thawed, pour the smoothie into the blender and blend with orange juice until smooth. You can make smoothie popsicles and freeze your leftovers in a popsicle sleeve.
