Smoothie ice cubes for refreshing drinks
Instead of throwing away leftover smoothie, try freezing it in ice cube trays for a refreshing addition to your drinks. Simply add the smoothie cubes to cold water, soda water, or even cocktails for a nutritious and tasty twist. You can also blend the smoothie cubes with coconut water or milk for a quick and easy smoothie.
Smoothie popsicles for a healthy snack
If you have kids, smoothie popsicles are a great way to get them to eat their fruits and veggies. Simply pour the leftover smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze for a healthy and delicious 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. The antioxidants and vitamins from the fruits and veggies can help brighten and rejuvenate your skin. You can also mix the smoothie cubes with honey or aloe vera for added benefits.
