6 Freezer Smoothies in Mason Jars

You might remember the frugal hack of prepping your smoothies by adding freshly cut fruit into little Ziploc bags for freezing. Each bag runs just a few cents per smoothie and all you have to do is grab one and blend it in the morning! How easy is that? Smoothies in minutes! But, what if I told you we could hack that to a whole new level? I am now preparing smoothies in freezer-safe mason jars.

🍓 Ingredients

Just a Couple of Ingredients

I love foods and drinks that taste amazing but don’t have a lot of ingredients. That’s one of my favorite things about these. Let’s take a look at what you need:

Fruit: We use a combination of pineapple and mango to make these sweet and flavorful. Both fruits are tropical and delicious too.

Coconut Milk: Using coconut milk will give your smoothie a super thick and creamy texture. It’s perfection and is a wonderful combination.

Shredded Coconut: Anyone who loves coconut is going to go wild for this. You almost feel like you are starting the day at a tropical retreat!

🍽️ Instructions

Remember to always think of substituting the fruit you would like for smoothies!

Step One: Add two cups of pineapple and two cups of mango to a blender to make these Aloha smoothies. Add coconut milk and sprinkle a little bit of coconut flakes and blend until smooth. You can certainly use this technique for any of your favorite fruit smoothie combinations and freeze them.

Step Two: Pour the smoothies into the freezer safe mason jars. Place the lid on top and freeze. Ball states that these can be frozen for up to one year, but I haven’t tested that out. 😀 We have kept ours for two weeks, but we make food and use it! 

❄️ What Jars are Freezer Safe

Not all jars are made the same, so make sure you are using the correct ones before you attempt to make these for the first time.

Look for a snowflake on the box to make sure they are freezer safe jars. Ball makes the freezer safe version which have a straight line rather than any curves. The straight lines of the glass allow the contents to expand properly and not break.

Here are the freezer safe mason jars I used, but check your local store if you don’t want to wait on shipping.

Expert Tips

You will need to move these from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before you plan to drink them. When you get up in the morning, they should be smoothie perfect. I poured them from the jar to my traveling cup so I could drink it on my way to work. Breakfast can’t be any easier.

FAQ

Can I Use a Different Container?

You can! If you use glass, make sure it is freezer safe and always leave room for expansion. Go back to science class for a minute and remember how much liquids will expand once frozen. You don’t want to have broken glass.
My mom likes to make hers in the small Rubbermaid containers. She just stacks them and takes them out of the freezer the night before. Of course, these containers can be used for a lot more than just freezer smoothies! She then makes them into smoothie bowls or pours them into a cup with a straw.

Equipment

  • Mason Jars
  • Blender or Vitamix

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Pineapple chopped
  • 2 cups Mango chopped
  • ½ cup Coconut Milk
  • ¼ cup Coconut shredded

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into the blender (make sure to use a sturdy one!) and blend for just about 20-30 seconds. 
  • Pour mixture into the freezer safe mason jars. Screw on the lid and place in freezer. 
  • When ready to eat, pull out smoothie the night before and put in refrigerator. The next morning the smoothie will be ready to eat. 

Notes

Containers: These can be made and placed in a Rubbermaid container if you do not have the freezer jars. Although, the jars make it easy to grab and go in the morning, you can simply scoop the smoothie from the Rubbermaid container into your favorite take away mug and off you go! 
Substitute: Substitute any fruit you like! Just use the same quantities. 
Freezer Safe Jars: When choosing glass mason jars, make sure to use freezer safe ones which will have the snowflake on the outside of the box. If you are unsure, make sure to use jars that are NOT curved at the top. The straight lines of the freezer safe jars allow for better freezing and expansion of the smoothie.

      Hi Liliana! No problem. The key is to always look for notes or a little snowflake on the box.
