What Are Frozen Smoothie Packs?
One of the best parts of these recipes, in our humble opinion, is that you can make them into frozen smoothie packs ahead of time to have on hand for quick breakfasts and snacks. Freezer smoothie packs are simply individual packs of the solid ingredients of your favorite smoothie.
It makes so much sense to use your time and resources wisely by prepping smoothies in bulk. Plus, having these on hand means healthy eating is right at your fingertips anytime!
How to Make Frozen Smoothie Packs
Having a pack of the frozen solid smoothie ingredients on hand means all you have to do is pour the required liquid in your blender, dump in the bag’s ingredients, and blend.
You’ll be walking out the door with a tasty, nutritious breakfast in just minutes! Take a look at how easy it is…
How to Store Frozen Smoothie Packs
You have several options for storing your freezer smoothie packs in the freezer.
1 – Quart-sized BPA-free freezer bags work quite well, since they are smaller and made for the freezer. Consider saving these bags and restocking them with more freezer smoothie packs.
2 – Sandwich-sized BPA-free storage bags will work if you place them inside a gallon-sized freezer bag. Consider saving these bags and restocking them with more freezer smoothie packs.
3 – You could also try these BPA-free reusable sandwich bags. They are the perfect size for smoothie packs but also work well for any food storage. We’ve found that they are easy to clean (even dishwasher safe!), easy to use, and leak-proof.
4 – We tested using mason jars and found that they can be difficult to get the ingredients out of after being frozen. Plus, they are bulky and take up a lot of room in the freezer. They work in a pinch but aren’t the best option.
What Kind of Blender Should I Use for Frozen Smoothie Packs?
Now, let’s talk blenders for a minute. Not all of them are created equal. I’ve owned a lot of brands over the years–Frigidaire, Cuisinart, Ninja, Vitamix, and Oster.
To really pulverize the freezer smoothie packs, you’ll need a high-powered blender. The two blenders that stand out as clear winners from my experience are:
1. The Vitamix (of course!) because it is very high-powered, super simple, and will last for an eon. I saved up for and owned a refurbished version that lasted over five years with daily use. I could have sent it in to Vitamix to get fixed but instead opted for the blender below (and am very happy). Polly and I both own Vitamixes and highly recommend them. Very much worth the investment.
2. A more affordable option is the Nutri Ninja Personal and Countertop Blender. The best feature in my opinion is that it allows me to make single serving smoothies that get very smooth. Love the single serving blend-and-go design! If you just want that feature only, consider getting just the Nutri Ninja Pro option, which is much cheaper. The big blender doesn’t pulverize as well as the smaller containers do, just so you know. We use the single-serving blender daily!
We hope these smoothie recipes and freezer smoothie pack instructions help your family eat better and save time and money. We’d love to hear from you: What’s your favorite smoothie flavor??

Hi Lisa. I’m so sorry for the trouble! We got it fixed. Please reach out if we can help in any other way.
Could these be made with an immersion blender?
I haven’t tried it with my immersion blender, but I imagine it would work!
How long will these stay fresh in the freezer?
If you pack them well and store them in the coldest part of the fridge, they should still be good for at least 3 months, if not longer. But they will be safe indefinitely as long as they remain frozen, so don’t toss them out if they’ve been in there a long time necessarily. I would store each pack in a small baggie and then stick those smaller bags in a large freezer bag, pushing out as much air as possible. Air is the enemy of good freezer food. I hope that helps!
Thank you!! 🙂

These look amazing! Can you also add a favorite protein powder to these mixes?
You definitely can kick up the protein with your favorite powder. Great idea!
Would it affect the consistency meaning more liquid was required?
Hi Kaitlyn. I’m not sure I understand your question. Can you explain again?

I am having the same problem. Please send to me.
Hi Cara. Can you please email us at thrivinghome (at) gmail (dot) com? We’d be glad to help you!
What of the Blendjet single serve blender? Would these work for it? Oh, how would canned coconut milk work the strawberry piña colada shake?
I need recipe for chea oatmeal?
I do not know the amount to add
You could add 1 Tablespoon per smoothie pack. If you want to add it to the our Overnight Oats recipes, I would also recommend 1 tablespoon chia. Here is the link to our Overnight Oats: https://thrivinghomeblog.com/7-overnight-oats-recipes/
Excited to try these! Maybe I missed it but do you cook the sweet potato and carrot first for the creamsicle one? I’m not too sure my blender could handle them raw!
We use raw sweet potato and carrot. If you do not have a high powered blender, I would recommend cutting them very small or cooking them a little bit in the microwave first. Hope that helps.
Do you have nutritional information on these? Also, so far, I’ve had the blueberry muffin and loved it!
I have been wanting to freeze smoothie ingredients like I do meals! These look great! Thanks!
Thanks, we hope these recipes are helpful!
