Do you have an abundant harvest from one fruit tree in your yard or a bounteous orchard on your homestead? Or maybe you picked up a super deal at the grocery store or came home weighed down with produce from the farmers’ market? Either way, a little work now will give you freshly frozen fruit in winter – and in convenient smoothie-sized portions, ready to pop into the blender.
I thought this was a clever idea from Tracy at TheThingsWellMake for handling and storing delicious fresh summer-ripened fruit to have out of season. Tracy says …
One of the best ways to easily have my son to get some fruit, protein, and even veggies into his diet, especially on a day that he is being particularly picky, is with a fruit smoothie! One of his favorites is the Popeye Smoothie.
Not all of his favorite fruits are available at all times of the year, though. So, I take advantage of when they are in season, and freeze some pureed fruits, all ready for making smoothies.

Recipe: Tracy’s Popeye Smoothie: Green Fruity and Probiotic
Serves 2
“I like using this smoothie as an example to show my son that he should always try new foods. Even though he doesn’t like spinach, he does like this smoothie. It’s a great lesson to learn!” says Tracy.
Ingredients:
- 1 Banana, ripe, with lots of black spots
- 4 large Strawberries, or 1-2 frozen fruit ice cubes, depending on size
- 1 cup Yogurt or homemade Kefir
- 1 handful Spinach
Blend until smooth and enjoy.
Tracy freezes the fruit in ice cube trays, but she found …
I bagged up the food cubes in bags, but the irregular shape of the cubes didn’t help save any space in the freezer.
