Frozen Greens for Green Smoothies

How to easily freeze your greens for smoothies! I’m in a current state of obsession with Green Smoothies. My blender has really been proving it’s worth lately. We recently broke down and got a Costco membership (which I’m in love with-by the way) which means that my bags of spinach and kale are now 5 times the size. It’s such a good price for those giant bags of greens but with just 2 of us, there’s simply NO way that we could consume that much spinach and kale. My solution: Frozen Greens!!

Ingredients

8 handfuls - greens
¼ cup - liquid

Instructions

Start with 2 handfuls of the greens in the blender with a few tablespoons of liquid. Blend until just liquified. If need be, you can add in more liquid, one tablespoon at a time.
Blend just until it's liquified. It's okay if there are still some green chunks in it.
Add in 2 more handfuls of the greens and blend until liquified. Add liquid if needed, one tablespoon at a time.
Repeat until all of your greens are liquified and let the blender run until there are no green chunks left.
Pour the liquid greens into molds and place in a flat surface in the freezer.
Freeze for at least 6 hours.
Remove green cubes from the mold and place in a freezer back. Store in the freezer until needed.
ENJOY lots of green smoothies while not wasting any food :)
Please note that this "recipe" is a rough estimate, obviously if you have more or less greens that need freezing, you can adjust it to fit your needs.
For my average sized ice mold, I need about 7 cubes of greens per green smoothie recipe (that makes 2 servings).
