It’s not only the kids who like to find a treat in their lunch bag, adults do too. So why not make up a batch of tasty smoothies, freeze and use as cool blocks in lunch bags. You can make up a batch on the weekend and vary the fruit in each according to family tastes.
This recipe is based on one from Shaina at FoodForMyFamily, who suggests …
Remove from freezer at least 4 hours before serving if storing in an insulated lunch bag. If setting on the counter to thaw, remove 1-2 hours before serving. Mix it up before digging in.
In other words, it’s safe to add the smoothie to the lunch bag in the morning before heading out the door. Don’t forget to add a spoon if your smoothies are very thick.
