This mixed berry smoothie recipe is perfect for meal prep! Stock your freezer with delicious smoothie jars to conquer busy mornings and midday hunger pangs.
Divide the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and protein powder among the glass jars.
Add the frozen mixed berries on top. Cover the jars with their lids and freeze until you're ready to make your mixed berry smoothie.
To make a smoothie, dump all the contents of the jar into the blender pitcher.
Pour half a cup of almond milk and swish to combine.
Add a tablespoon or two of maple syrup. If you want a thicker smoothie, add ice cubes.
Blend on high for around 1 minute and 30 seconds or until completely smooth. Taste and add more maple syrup if needed.
Notes
You can freeze these meal prep smoothies for up to 1 month! When ready to blend, run the jar under warm water for a minute to thaw the edges of the smoothie base and make it easier to pour into the blender.
Use frozen berries and add just enough milk to combine everything. You can also thicken your vegan mixed berry smoothie with cashew yogurt, avocado, or—here's a surprising thickener—frozen cauliflower!
