8 tbsp ground flaxseed (1 tbsp per smoothie)
8 scoops protein powder (if using)
8 tsp grated fresh ginger (1/4 tsp per smoothie)
2-4 cups cauliflower florets (mild, adds creaminess)
To blend (per smoothie)
1 to 1 1/2 cups liquid: almond milk, oat milk, dairy milk, coconut water, or water
Optional: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt for extra creaminess/protein
Optional: 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter

Slice bananas and prep fruit into bite-size chunks if needed.
Lay everything out and set up 8 freezer bags or reusable silicone bags.
Add:
1 cup spinach
½ banana (sliced)
¼ cup pineapple
¼ cup mango
2 tbsp berries
(Optional: add cauliflower or ginger now. Save powders/seeds for blend time if you prefer.)
Press out excess air, seal, label with the date, and freeze flat.
Best texture within 2–3 months.
Add 1–1½ cups liquid to blender first.
Dump in 1 smoothie pack.
Blend 45–60 seconds until smooth. Add more liquid to thin, or a few ice cubes for thicker.
Notes
Cooking Tips (Smoothie Pack Success)
-
Freeze flat so packs stack neatly and blend faster.
-
Liquid first in the blender helps prevent jams.
-
If your blender struggles, let the pack sit at room temp 2–3 minutes before blending.
-
For extra creamy smoothies: add Greek yogurt or ½ avocado at blend time.
-
Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness (and no need for added sweeteners).
