HOW TO STORE FROZEN SMOOTHIE PACKS
You have several options for storing your smoothie packs in the freezer:
- Quart-sized BPA-free freezer bags are a great choice since they are specifically designed for freezing and are smaller in size. You can also reuse these bags to create more smoothie packs.
- Sandwich-sized BPA-free storage bags can be effective if placed inside a gallon-sized freezer bag. Just like the quart bags, these can be reused for future smoothie packs.
- BPA-free reusable sandwich bags are another option. They are the perfect size for smoothie packs and can be used for other food storage as well. They’re easy to clean (even dishwasher safe!), user-friendly, and leak-proof.
- While mason jars can be used, we found them challenging for retrieving frozen ingredients. They tend to be bulky and take up more space in the freezer, making them less ideal for this purpose. Although they can work in a pinch, they aren’t the most efficient option.
