You can add nuts, milks, honey, yogurt, flax seed, oils, and more. We like plain yogurt and honey too.

Freezer Tip: Freezing fruits and vegetables before you can use them is a great way to have items ready for smoothies and a great way to save money because you aren't throwing food away!
Below is a list of things I've kept in the freezer for our smoothies-
Things that can be kept in the freezer for smoothies-
- Fruit- cubed for bigger fruits, or whole berries. Just flash freeze then transfer to a container when frozen so they don't stick together.
- Pureed fruits can be put in an ice cube tray first.
- Pureed pumpkin- pour into an ice cube tray first.
- Have lots of FRESH uncooked organic spinach leftover? Puree it with a tiny bit of water to get the blender going. Pour into an ice cube tray for later use. (Could work for kale also.)
- Almond milk, coconut milk, yogurt, most milk can be frozen in an ice cube tray.
- If I make a big batch of smoothies and we have leftovers I put them in an ice cube tray also.
