Lately I've been over doing it just a little, so for me it's the perfect time for a little smoothie detox. These Smoothie Pods have endless possibilities when it comes to flavour combinations. You can add whatever fruit or vegetable combination you like, just as long as you add 2 cups of liquid as the base for your pods when preparing. In addition a quarter cup of natural Greek yoghurt will also give it a lovely guilt free creamy consistency. I prefer to use a milk base for my chocolate pods and a coconut water base for my fruity pods but it really does depend on personal choice. The Smoothie Pods are convenient to have on hand saving you time and all that prep each morning. Make a batch for the week, pop into your blender with your desired liquid, be it Almond milk, Skim Milk, Coconut Water or Soy etc... And whizz away! Place your pods in a zip lock bag and place in the freezer. They will keep for up to 1 month.
Feel free to leave a comment with your very own flavour combinations, would love to know how you go with these.
