Today I’m sharing my 3-year-old’s favorite green smoothie. He LOVES the strawberry banana combination and so do I. I like to slice bananas before I freeze them so the smoothie blends up nicely.

I keep a bag of frozen bananas along with bags of other organic frozen fruit in my freezer all the time. I even freeze kale or spinach sometimes when I know I’m not going to use it all up.

Costco is the best place I’ve found to buy bulk frozen fruit. Plus, I love having frozen fruit (especially berries) around to make pies, put into baked goods, make toppings for waffles/pancakes etc.

Whenever I make oatmeal, I throw a handful of frozen blueberries in the bowl. My son also likes eating frozen blueberries straight out of the freezer for a snack.

Frozen fruit is actually really nutritious. Because the fruit is allowed to ripen to maturity and frozen quickly after harvesting, it is chock full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Fruit begins to loose it’s nutritional value right after it’s picked, but freezing fruit right after harvesting helps lock in those nutrients. Long live frozen fruit! Literally.
