How Do You Store Fruit in a Smoothie?

Storing Smoothies:

  • Store smoothies in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours or freeze them for up to 3 months.
  • Use airtight glass containers or plastic bottles with tight-fitting lids.

Fresh Fruit Storage Tips:

  • Start with cold ingredients when preparing a smoothie in advance.
  • Use whole fruit instead of juice to retain fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Most refrigerated produce stays fresh longer when sealed in containers with tight-fitting lids.

Blending Tips:

  • Turn up the speed as some fruit chunks get blended and incorporated.
  • Once all the fruit is blended, turn the blender to high for a final blend.

Smoothie Duration:

  • Blended smoothies can be stored in the fridge for up to four days.
  • Fresh smoothies stored in the fridge can be kept for two days.

Freezing Smoothies:

  • Fresh fruit smoothies can be frozen for up to 3 months but may lose some nutrients over time.
