How long smoothies keep

The bottles with the silicone straw we recommend using only with water or thin liquids like water. Smoothies and soups tend to clog the straw. Try adding lemons or fresh lemon juice to your smoothies. At the end of the day, any smoothie is going to taste better and will be more nutritious the fresher it is! Chlorophyll the green pigment found in leafy greens can actually keep your smoothie alive longer, up to 48 hours.

However, at Raw Blend we only recommend keeping your Green Smoothies in the fridge for up to 24 hours to ensure maximum freshness, nutrition and taste.

To ensure your smoothies are packed with maximum nutrition we recommend using a quality blender and at Raw Blend we strongly believe the best blender on the market is Vitamix. Yes this is fine! Well I aways make mine the day before…If ony be cause i leave am or earlier for work…easier for time purposes and other people are sleeping….

Really enjoy it though been doing green tea smoothie for a month give or take…trying to advoid hbp meds and its helped. Its full of Lenin and garlic and other fruits and veggies. No powder or dairy. I totally forgot about my green smoothie that was in a cooler bag no ice packs in my locker for about 4 hours.

Hi Dee, it really depends on how hot it was in your locker for and how much bacteria has grown. Happy Blending! We make 2 batches in the Vitamix and store it all in one Tupperware cereal container with lid in the fridge. If the drink was made with fruit that was already going soft, drink it as soon as possible. The bottom line: In most cases, it's safe to drink a smoothie that's been in the fridge for at least two days, although the texture and flavor may not be ideal.

Of course, if there's any mold or an unusually strong smell, it's too late—throw it out. Freeze your smoothie in an airtight container to extend its life. This will stop the fruit from going bad and preserve the frostiness. If you like thick smoothies, partially thaw and then blend to your preferred consistency.

Frozen smoothies should keep for at least a few weeks. In general, smoothies keep longer than juice. My rule of thumb is that juice will keep for about 12 hours using the method below, while a smoothie will keep up to 24 hours. Easy, healthy, delicious dinners at your fingertips. You'll also get meal planning templates, my healthy pantry checklist and more.

When fruits begin to break down in the ripening process, they release ethylene gases. Fruits will rotten very fast when chopped, diced or in this case, liquified. If you put them in a plastic container without any means for those gases to escape, you have created a veggie bomb!

You also lose desired nutrients quickly after creating a veggie liquid. To ingest all the nutrients before excessive gas takes over your treat, drink your smoothie immediately after making it. I made some smothies and it got bad the same day and bursted from the plastic bottle when opened. What could be the cause? Hi there I make smoothies at night for the next morning but they seem to go flat or something.

Any ideas why? Hi Natasha, the blender whips air into the smoothie, so as they settle they may look less dense. Blend until smooth and try not to blend extra time. I tried keeping it in an airtight lid in the fridge but it just becomes very chunky with a weird aftertaste.

I use dairy milk as a base. Need ideas and recipes for my fight for life! Do you have any suggestions or information? I put the smoothie in the mason jar — filled to the top — and stored it overnight. In the morning there was slightly less smoothie in the jar. It is not a big deal, but do you know what is causing the content to be less in the morning?

Hey Valerie! Not a big deal at all. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Sorry I hit post to early. I just tried my first green smoothie this morning! Great tips! Thank you. Juice and smoothie recipe yield can vary, mostly because the size of the produce can vary so much. On my site, most recipes are for one large serving, or as indicated in the recipe. On your video blog on common mistakes of juicing….

Your information is incorrect. Centrifugal juicers are the high speed ones and the masticating are the slow speed more expensive but better juicer. You state the exact opposite. Otherwise all good advise. Please correct. Works fine. Did 10qts. They were yummy and fresh tasting all week.

Not icky like when I put them in the fridge.
