Storing Leftover Smoothie

If you are unable to finish your smoothie, store it in the refrigerator. If you do this, you should finish it the same day. You may need to re-blend with more liquid or stir in extra milk in case the smoothie gets too thick.

Another option for storage of your leftover Blueberry Peanut Butter smoothie is the freezer. It will take a bit longer to thaw out before it’s ready to drink, but the smoothie should stay good for about a month.

You could also pour the leftover smoothie into ice-cube trays, then add the “smoothie ice” to the blender with some more whole milk for an easy, new smoothie.
