You can also blend the smoothie cubes with coconut water or milk for a quick and easy smoothie.
Smoothie popsicles for a healthy snack

You can even experiment with different flavor combinations and add-ins like chia seeds or cocoa powder.
Smoothie bowl toppers for breakfast
If you love smoothie bowls for breakfast, try using leftover smoothie as a topping. Simply pour the smoothie into ice cube trays and freeze. Then, pop out the cubes and arrange them on top of your smoothie bowl for added texture and flavor. You can also blend the smoothie cubes with Greek yogurt or nut butter for a protein boost.
Smoothie marinades for meat
Believe it or not, leftover smoothie can be used as a marinade for meat. The acidity and flavor from the fruit and veggies can tenderize and add flavor to chicken, pork, and even tofu. Simply blend the smoothie cubes with some olive oil, garlic, and spices and marinate the meat for at least an hour before cooking.
Smoothie skincare treatments
Smoothie ice cubes can even be used in your skincare routine. Try rubbing a smoothie cube on your face as a refreshing and hydrating treatment.
