Tips:

  • Bananas that are starting to turn ripe can be held frozen and would work great in the smoothie.
  • If making large quantities of the smoothie, make it in batches and immediately place it into the cooler as soon as blended to keep the temperature below 41°F.
  • Menu Planner: Pureed vegetables and fruits of any type, (fresh, frozen, or canned), when served in a smoothie, credit as juice.
