    Default Freezing Green Smoothies...

    Hi I am new....I usually make my green veggie smoothie batch and drink it in 2 days..but I want to make a big batch for my son when I go to visit him and I would like to freeze it to keep it longer....will it loose nutritional value? or will it not be ok to freeze it???

    TIA

    Well, fresh is always best as anytime you blend up foods they will begin to oxidize. But if the alternative is not having the smoothies, freezing in an airtight container should be fine for up to a month or so, maybe longer. The key is to reduce as much air exposure as possible. Freezing in a zip-lock bag would work well as it is easy to remove all the air space. The texture may change after thawing.
