Smoothie Kits

Have you ever tried the Yoplait Smoothies you can buy and make at home? They are so good and are a pretty simple concept and one you can adapt to your tastes. Presenting smoothie kits:

For 4 kits that make 2-3 servings each, you will need:

1 large container vanilla greek yogurt (it is more expensive, but is packed with protein)

1 bag fresh spinach

1 large bag frozen berries (no sugar added, just berries that have been frozen)

1 container fresh orange juice (like Simply Orange)

Quart size freezer bags

3 ice cube trays

Place spinach in a food processor and get it as close to a paste as possible. You may need to add a little water. Put spinach paste in one ice cube tray and place in the freezer. The paste may not fill up all the openings. Fill another ice cube tray with the greek yogurt. Place that in the freezer also. Fill the third with the orange juice. Carefully add that to the freezer with the other trays. Once everything is frozen solid, place the following in each quart size freezer bag:

4 yogurt cubes

4 orange juice cubes

3 spinach cubes

1 cup frozen berries

When it is time to make the smoothies, place contents of bag into a blender. Add 1.5 cups milk and a banana. Blend until smooth.
