Make it ahead

Pack the solid ingredients (fruit, greens, seeds, oats) into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. In the morning, tip the bag into the blender, add the liquid and yogurt, and blend. A blended smoothie keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake before drinking. More on smoothie freezer packs.

Frequently asked questions

Why does pineapple make my mouth tingle?

Fresh pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that can cause a tingling feeling; frozen pineapple is milder.
