At our house, we love to have homemade smoothies in the Summertime. Not only are they yummy and refreshing–especially on a hot Summer day!–but they can also be quite frugal. Yes, really, smoothies can be frugal!
Almost any kind of fruit can be used in a smoothie, but berries are especially good. During the Summer months when berries are in season and plentiful, the sales on them are usually abundant. Buy a little extra each week and wash, chop, and freeze them to have for later and you’ll save a bundle and stock your freezer with a nice variety of berries to use in smoothies for a few months to come.
I like to spread the berries on baking sheets after I’ve washed and chopped them and then stick them in the freezer until they are frozen. Once frozen, I transfer them from the baking sheets to freezer bags. This method prevents all of your berries forming into one big clump in the freezer bag and makes it much easier for you to get out a cup or two at a time to add to your blender for a smoothie.
Another fruit which is a must-have in smoothies is bananas. Our stores sell bananas which are past their prime for a very reduced price. I buy these up and we eat what we can the first day and then chop and freeze the rest to use in smoothies and banana bread. This is a much more cost-effective way to add bananas to your smoothies and you can’t tell that a banana was a bit overripe if it is in a smoothie!
Since I love experimenting in the kitchen, I find smoothies to be a great way to use up some of those odds and ends of produce from the refrigerator and freezer. From that little bit of leftover juice or yogurt which wasn’t used for breakfast the day before to the spinach from the garden which you have in abundance, almost anything can go into a smoothie so long as you put enough other things in it to “hide” it!
The other day, I used the items pictured above to whip up some strawberry smoothies: some of the YoBaby yogurt, frozen strawberries, milk, and some Santa Cruiz juice.
I always begin by adding in the frozen fruit and any fresh fruit, then yogurt or milk, and then liquids (either milk or juice). I add more liquid if needed and sweeten it with honey or sugar if it needs it (most of the time, we don’t add sweetener as the fruit is plenty enough!).
And the girls just gobble it up!
We love strawberry smoothies, but another family favorite is our Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie recipe which is posted here. I made it up on a whim one day and we all decided it was a keeper! If you’re a little more adventuresome, you might also try Green Smoothies. We’ve made these before and no one seemed to even notice the spinach in them!
Would you like to try your hand at making smoothies? Just for fun, I’m giving away a Smoothie Kit on my blog today complete with yummy smoothie recipes, a small Hamilton-Beach blender (shown above), and Bone Health t-shirts.
May was National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month and the Milk Bone Health Program was going to give away this kit then, but since I had a baby in May, I’m a little behind here. But I thought it’d be fun to still give away this kit–especially since it’s a wonderful time of year to be making smoothies.
To enter to win this Smoothie Kit, just leave a comment on this post in the next 24 hours. I’ll randomly choose a winner once this giveaway is closed.
The girls, enjoying their smoothies and sporting their “I {love} strong bones” t-shirts.

Hi
Thanks for the chance to win a blender. V don’t have one n so use the one at my friends house(can b awkward tho”). I have found 5.5 lbs bags of frozen berries during the summer at $3.99/bag which I think is a good deal n one bag lasts for a while, too.
Margaret says
I feel silly for saying this, but I have never even THOUGHT of making smothies for my family. But, wow….what a great idea! Like you said, you can pack them pretty much full of anything and they are a yummy, easy-to-make treat. I also love the idea of slicing up bananas that are about to “go bad” and freezing them for later use. Again, thanks for the great ideas!
Meghann says

K.Coleman says
I have added smoothies to my breakfast menu during my pregnancy (I’m 32 weeks now). They were a great way to get some protein, calcium, and fruit into my diet even when I was rushed in the morning to get to my job as a teacher. I saved money by purchasing the fruit from the farmers market through a co-op when it is in season (a whole flat of strawberries/blueberries or a basket of peaches goes a long way!). I was also able to get my husband who is not usually a breakfast person to drink them, with an added scoop of protein mix.
Brad says
We would love to start making smoothies!

Smoothies are the best in the summer. I worked at a smoothie shop once and my favorite was the strawberry smoothie. Ingredients were: frozen vanilla yogurt, orange sherbet, orange juice, half a banana, frozen strawberries and a spoonful of pinapple chunks. The pineapple really adds the last punch of flavor and zing to it.

We have (almost) 17 mo old triplets and are just beginning to find new ways to get them hydrated and enjoy what they are drinking. They LOVE fruit, so I think smoothies would be the “fun” treat and keep them hydrated at the same time.
Thanks for a great blog! We love it!
Becky says
We love pumpkin smoothies. You just use bottled or canned pumpkin, ice, milk or water & powdered milk, and sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to taste, with a dash of cloves. It tastes like pumpkin pie (if you add enough sugar and milk), and is very frugal, since we use pumpkin that I bottled last fall, when I bought pumpkins for $1 a piece after Halloween. You can also freeze the pumpkin if you don’t have a pressure canner, but do have enough freezer space.
Seems says
I would love to start making smoothies for my family!

I love smoothies! They’re my breakfast most work days, and its great here in Phoenix. I don’t like bananas in mine though. 🙁 Most of my smoothies are yogurt based with fruit and such added based on whatever we have around.
I find I can puree in some lettuce or an avocado and not taste it but know I’m getting the nutrients.
Marie says
I’ve never made smoothies . . . but yours always look so wonderful I would love to give it a go with a new Smoothie Kit!
Karen says
Yea Smoothies!

I love the smoothie idea, we love them.

It’s funny you should post this. I just began making green smoothies this week for my breakfast. (My husband and 16 yo daughter aren’t sold on the idea just yet.) It’s an easy way to get a large number of my daily fruits and veggies. I also stay full longer.
Kim says
We love smoothies in our house! It is a great way to get good nutrition into our kids (without them even knowing it!!). I am a new blog subscriber and have learned so much from you already! I am planning a baking day (once the weather goes back under 90!) Thank you for all of your hard work.

Joni says
Before I jumped on the coupon and frugality bandwagon, I used to go to the local Planet Smoothie every morning for my favorite smoothie…The Hangover-over (not sure why it was named that). Nothing more than strawberries, bananas, and vanilla frozen yogurt. This would be great for me to make smoothies at home and get hung up on the Hangover-over all over again. I sure do miss them!
Tanya says
Love your blog!
Anne G says
These look yummy
robin says
Great smoothie recipes!
Holly in OK says
Thanks for the reminder that you can freeze the bananas. I know, not rocket science, but I always think I need to use them up for the smoothies just as they’re starting to overripen, then once they’re too ripe, they get chucked or used for banana bread…eventually. But hello! Freeze them in chunks, Holly!! Sometimes the obvious escapes us! Or me…
I’ve been meaning to try the green smoothie, so thanks for the reminder!
Sspence says
Yay! Smoothies…Yummy. My girls and I would LOVE it!
Thanks so much for all you do—your site is awesome!

I hope I win this. I am a big fan of smoothies. Have you ever tried using cooled green tea as the liquid in smoothies you make? I read that idea once, and love it. It is a a nice way to add more antioxidants, as well as more liquid without all of the extra calories.
Erica says
We love smoothies too. I’ve always wanted to try your peanut butter banana smoothie, but I always tend to forget about it until after they are made.
Jenny says
I just got some bananas today from Kroger on clearance! Some even organic and put them in the freezer. I am learning so much from you!!
Katie says
Smoothies….yum!
Kim says
We love smoothies. They are much cheaper at home than going out to get them.
Shelly Nissley says
We love smoothies and I often wish for a smaller blender to pull out when the smoothie urge hits! We have a great blender but it’s part of the huge Bosch machine which takes up so much counter space when all I really need for smoothies is a little thing! Can’t wait to see who gets this refreshing give-away. =)
Jamie Grupka says
My kids love smoothies! I never thought of chopping bananas and freezing, that’s a great idea! Thanks!

Freezing them on a pan b4 putting them in a bag is a great idea. I’m going to try this next time!

My dear son loves to make smoothies. We are limited though because we have a latex allergy in our family and bananas have become an allergy problem because they are related to the latex family. We use lots of berries.

Katie says
I enjoy spinach in my smoothies too, you can’t taste it at all and a great healthy addition!
Desiree says
Those look delicious!
Kat says
I love smoothies. They are great for an afternoon “snack” to get you from lunch to dinner without the “letdown” time or that craving for something but your not sure what.
I use fruit, fruit juice or yogurt, AnyWhey Protein powder or cottage cheese (actually can’t tell its in there but makes it really creamy) and ice.
Jeannie says
Smoothies are soooo good in summer! Strawberry is my fave, blueberry a close second
Kimberly Cook says
Yum! We love smoothies here at our house!
Jen says
A tip for green smoothies: Freeze the spinach before adding it, and the green doesn’t show much (especially in darker smoothies like blueberry), for those who object to the green color. Also, ground organic flaxseed is easy to add for essential fatty acids.
becky says
we love smoothies! i miss my girls being the age yours are!
Jennifer S says
Cold smoothies go great with hot FL afternoons!
Ellen says
One of my favourite things to do is make fresh banana ice cream. Freeze thin-ish chunks of banana, throw in a blender with a little milk and blend until smooth! It tastes like AMAZING banana ice cream and has like two calories if you use skim milk (I do and it tastes rad!). No sugar or anything needed because the bananas do more than nicely for it.
KK says
Count me in!
Allyson says
Homemade smoothies are one of my favorites!
Kristen says
Thanks for the post! A favorite in my house is kale and banana. Smoothies are a great way to throw in some nutritional value!

I’ve been having a lot of smoothies while pregnant…especially as it heats up here in Texas!! Usually it’s either a protein smoothie (rice milk, protein powder, milled flax seed, and frozen strawberries) or a green smoothie (orange juice, two handfuls of fresh spinach, and two handfuls of frozen mixed fruit). Yummy…and a great way to get in that extra protein and fruit my midwife wants me to have!!
Olivia says
My husband and I love smoothies! Strawberry is also our favorite. 🙂
Annie says
I’ve been craving a frappucchino, but a smoothie actually sounds better and would be a lot cheaper!

This would be a great win for me! My 7 year old who weighs all of 43 lbs eats like a chick-a-dee during the summer and we’re trying to increase his calories so he doesn’t lose any weight (and hopefully get him to gain some). Smoothies was suggested to me as one way to do that. Thanks for the chance to win!

We are just getting into the smoothies as it seems to be the only way I can get my stubborn almost two year old to eat her fruits and vegetables these days. I think I might try the spinach – I think the kids would love a green smoothie and we could all benefit from a little extra healthfulness.

Our blender died…or part of it did and we are in need of a new one. This would be perfect timing.
Have you ever had the bottom of a blender just stop spinning? This is our problem. It is stuck, like can’t turn the blades at all stuck. The motor works, the glass is perfect and this little disc with the blades is stuck.
Hope we get a new one 🙂

My husband and I love smoothies and used to make them all the time when we were first dating/engaged. For some reason we stopped when we had kids – probably had something to do with not sleeping and not being able to find time for anything, even going to the bathroom (our first was a demanding little guy) :-). I’d love to get back into smoothie making – it’s a great way to get some great fruits into a toddler!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

I’ve actually never made a smoothie and so want to start!
Gloria says
I sure could use that blender.
Just last week I went to make a milk shake and realized I didn’t have a blender it probably got lost int he move. I’m not a huge smoothie/milk shake drinker so I didn’t know I lacked the appliance. I’ve seen so many good recipes on blogs lately and feel so left out!
I’ve never won on blog giveaways so I hope this is my chance!!

This would be awesome! Our blender is very old and inefficient. DH has said it would be nice to get a new blender or smoothie maker, but I don’t want to spend the $$!! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!!
Whitney says
I just tried to make the peanut butter banana one on Saturday. After all the ingredients were in the blender I discovered it was not working. I had some REALLY disappointed kiddos!
Lauren says
We love smoothies, too! I never thought of freezing the berries on a baking sheet and transferring to a freezer bag! I have the hardest time separating out big lumps of frozen berries. Thanks for the idea! 🙂
Sharon says
Would love to win!

Love, love smoothies, but my blender is a terrible pain. This one looks A LOT easier. Great tip about freezing the bananas rather than using ice cubes as I sometimes do. Thanks!

I love smoothies as well but stay away from adding banana…it seems to be the dominate flavor if I add it. Love peaches in mine. I often add purreed squash, carrots, tomato or other mild flavored veggies as well. If you look on the bottles of V8Splash, you can get some good ideas of veggies that work well in smoothies.
TracyH says

Hey Crystal,
Your recipe’s are always my favorite part of your blog! My 2 year old son has a skin disease that affects his asophogus and mouth. I use my magic bullet every day to make his food mushy and soft for my little guy. I would love to win this give away and would put it to good use everyday. Thanks for being such a good role model with your mommy skills!
Laura says
In case I don’t win the smoothie kit, do you think a food processor would achieve similar results? Currently I don’t own a blender.

Hey! I recently found my dad’s hand blender and the past two days we have REALLY been having tons of smoothies but I can’t seem to get my 20 month old to eat or drink them 🙁 🙁 I put it in a sippy and call it “Yogurts” bc she LOVES Yogurt that way but she doesn’t like it. I’m starting to think that maybe she hates strawberries.
Is your 2 year old not a picky eater?
stephenie says
Please enter me! Thank you.

Jenn @ beautiful calling says
I never followed this blog of yours before since I don’t live in the USA and most of the deals you post are for there. Since it is the only one you have now though – here I am.
If this is open to Canada – count me in. If not, I do have a friend in Georgia that would love this!
Julie Kreke says

bonnie says
We love smoothies here too. Enter me in!
Natalie says
Oooh, love smoothies! Thanks!
Heather G says
We make smoothies often too. It is my secret way to use up that last bit of green veggies before they go bad. My boys love watching the mixture turn green and then red/purple (depending on the berries added.) Would love to win the smoothie maker. I keep killing our blender.
Sheila says
My kids love smoothies. It’s a nice, healthy treat.

Tonya says
We do smoothies here too. I never thought to freeze the berries on a cookie sheet, though. However, my dad told me he doesn’t wash blueberries until he’s ready to use them. He just freezes them and bags them. He says it makes them mushy to wash and then freeze. I’ll try it his way once, I’m sure:)
Kim says
This would be great for our 100 degree weather here in Texas! Thanks for the offer

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE smoothies too and we make them so much that our blender is about ready to die. So I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your smoothie kit and the blender.

Carrie Kozlowski says
A smoothie kit would be awesome!
Cyndi says
My son has a “veggie” issue – but what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. I added spiniach to his smoothies for the past few years – he can’t see it/taste it (seriously), but he’ll eat it…
The other day I told him about it…he’s old enough to start making his own smoothies and to be interested in what’s really iin them…and he decided that wasn’t so bad so he’ll keep adding it…and he’s trying more stuff too – rhubarb, carrots, broccoli – some a bigger hit than others, but he’s eating more veggies!

Sondra S says
Your smoothies look delicious! My oldest loves to help make banana smoothies. Never thought of freezing the bananas though, when ours goes “bad” we usually send them to my mom for her to make banana bread or bars 🙂
Jackie Sheridan says
smoothies!! yum!!
Krysia says
I’ve never thought of freezing bananas either. I have teenage boys that play multiple sports. They make protein shakes each morning. I too freeze raspberries and strawberries for their smoothies and freezing bananas is a great idea! Plus, who doesn’t LOVE freshly baked, warm banana bread?? YUM. 🙂
Thanks so very much for all you do! I can’t even begin to tell you how inspiring you have been, not to mention how much money you have saved me and my family!!!

I love smoothies!
Last time Albertson’s had cheap strawberries {4lbs/$4.77 – that’s pretty cheap here}, we bought extra and froze them, but they’re all gone now. I’m hoping they go on sale again soon.
Sarah Tiren says
My husband and I went strawberry picking a couple of months ago and I froze a bunch of them. I’m making strawberry muffins tonight… but I’d love to make some into smoothies! I’m sure my husband would love that treat!
Amanda says
I freeze my bananas too. Our favorite smoothie recipe is 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup frozen banana, 1 cup apple juice, 1 cup plain yogurt, and a few ice cubes. Delicious!!! Oh, and I’d love to have that little blender!!! (I used to have one, but it bit the dust…and I MISS it!!)
Meg says
That might be THE only way to get me to eat bananas – and Lord knows I need more fruit in my diet!

Hello, I love reading your ideas about saving money, coupons and prudent homemaking. I’ve tried some recipes and definitely cut out some coupons with your help! Thank you.

We love smoothies at our house–I love fresh pineapple or pineapple juice with coconut milk and frozen bananas~this is so yummy! I like to add a little milk or cream as it cuts the tartness of the fruit, especially berries.

Teresa Hewson says
We love smoothies at our house. We grow our own blueberries and trade some with our friend Marge for some of her blackberries. Our smoothies tend to be on the purple side! Our blender is getting old and tired, smells like rubber burning when we use it, so we could certainly use a new one. Have you ever made peach smoothies?
Michelle says
These smoothies look great!! Your thoughts would be to wash your berries before you freeze them? Is it ok to freeze them without washing them? Washing them once you are ready to use them. Does it matter? Thanks for the input! 🙂
tonya says
My three girls LOVE smoothies…until they wore the blender out. New recipies and a new blender would be GREAT!

I love smoothies too. My mom got us started on them when I was living at home. I now am a single gal living on my own and still enjoy smoothies. (You don’t know of any KJV conservative guys in their 30’s middle to late or so that is looking for a wife do you:) You can take that part out:) I have started using peanut butter in mine too! I can get organic or natural peanut butter for dirt cheap:) My secret;) and so I enjoy the taste. I need to get to the grocery store more and freeze like you mentioned. I have no large freezer though:( Boo, hoo. Would be fun to win and thank you! I love your blog and turn others onto it when I can.

I love smoothies too. We always add oatmeal or wheat germ to it, and I think it improves the texture without changing the taste much. Also, we usually add vanilla to ours.
Abby says
Please enter me into the drawing. Thanks!
