Storage
If you have any leftovers keep them in a glass airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I recommend you consume it as quickly as possible so you can reap all those nutritional benefits in full measure. Alternatively, you can transfer it into a freezer-friendly container or ice cube tray and freeze it for up to 3 months.
Top Tip
Don't skip the addition of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Not only will it add a nice zesty flavor to your smoothie but will also aid in the absorption of all the vitamins and minerals from the other fruits and veggies.
