Freeze a smoothie: what you should know about it

If something is left over from a delicious smoothie, you may want to freeze the rest and thus extend the shelf life. We explain how this works and what you should consider here.

A fresh smoothie can be kept in the fridge for between 12 and 24 hours.

• If you want to extend the shelf life or mix smoothies yourself in stock, freezing is a good option.
• It is best to add the fresh smoothie to the freezer in an ice cube dish.
