  • 1 small zucchini, chopped
  • 1 handful any leafy greens you like and need to use up
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint

Instructions
 

  • Choose which flavor of smoothie cube you want to make and place those ingredients into the blender and process till smooth
  • Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze until set. About 4 hours. Pop the frozen cubes out and store them in a freezer container for up to 3 months. I like to write on the bag or container the name of the smoothie cubes and the date so I know what it is and the date for expiry.
  • Now when it's time to use them, take 2-4 cubes based on how you like your smoothie to taste and place it in a blender with 1-1.5 cups of milk of choice and blend. This is when if you want to add a protein powder or anything else of choice you can. Blend and enjoy.

Notes

EACH recipe will make 20-24 cubes. So based on if you use 2-4 cubes per smoothie will determine how many servings you have.
