This looks refreshing! That is a lot of smoothie - how many people did it serve (or were there leftovers?)

I had put half away in the fridge in a mason jar and today the

pineapple flavor came on even more. It was wonderful both days as my

breakfast.

I almost always make a double batch and store half in the fridge in

a glass jar for the next morning.

THANKS for sharing this detail! I think it will help people with portion control to get an idea of how much your ingredients made.

Keep i mind I add about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of filtered water and often

at least a cup of ice.

This makes me curious. Does the smoothie not separate and get an " off " color by

sitting in the fridge? Sometimes the one I'm drinking does this if I don't get

right to it.

Citrus is a fruit that should not be stored - it turns bitter after about 1/2 hour. I can't really say about other fruits as I've never stored a smoothie.

No off color at all. But I did put juice of a half lemon in it. This

particular smoothie the foam died down a bit and there was a little

clearish juice at the bottom but a good shake the next day and it was

good to go, and as I said, tasted even better with a little more

pineapple taste. It was good both days. I would not save it more than a

day or two and in fridge right away after mixing i a glass jar.

If I do citrus with peel and or white part, it can change flavor a

little overnight, but the one I made with carrots, with juice of

half lemon, did not change flavor or get bitter at all.
