I think you should go ahead and drink this smoothie right away to get all it’s nutrients while it’s still fresh. With that being said, you can store it in an air-tight bottle for a few hours in the fridge and give it a vigorous shake when you’re ready to drink it.
You can also store all of the ingredients in a freezer-safe zip-lock bag and freeze it overnight if you plan to make it in the morning before heading out. That’ll save you a few minutes.
Finally, you can throw in some peanut butter or protein powder for extra protein. I also love adding a handful of spinach for other nutrients like iron, folate, vitamin K, and potassium.
