Smoothie

A smoothie is a thick, blended beverage made from an assortment of fruits, vegetables, liquids, and other optional ingredients such as nuts, seeds, and protein powders. Typically served cold, smoothies are a nutritious and delicious way to consume essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber while satisfying cravings for sweet and refreshing treats. Preparing a smoothie at home is a convenient, customizable process that is perfect for busy people on-the-go, individuals looking to improve their diet, or anyone seeking a tasty alternative to sugary beverages. The versatile nature of smoothies allows for endless combinations to cater to specific preferences and dietary requirements.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Smoothie expire?
Smoothies, due to their fresh, raw ingredients, do not last as long as other grocery items. Unopened store-bought smoothies usually stay good for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator, but be sure to check the best-by-date on the package. Once opened, it's best to consume the smoothie within a day or two. Homemade smoothie? You've got a shorter window - consume it within a day, preferably immediately after making it. Though it's not typical, smoothies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
How do you tell if Smoothie is bad?
Watch out for changes in smell, texture or taste. If your smoothie develops an off smell (sour or unpleasant), it has likely gone bad. If you see signs of mold or if the mixture has separated and won't blend together even after shaking, those are clear indications of spoilage. A change in taste, particularly a bitter or sour flavor, is another sign that your smoothie is no longer safe to drink.
Tips for storing Smoothie to extend shelf life
• Always store your smoothie in the refrigerator. The cold temperature slows bacteria growth and keeps it fresh. • Use an airtight container or smoothie bottle to store your blend, it can prevent exposure to air and thus slow down oxidation. • If you won't finish it immediately, consider making smoothie cubes: Pour your smoothie into an ice cube tray and freeze. These are perfect for quick use in the future - just take a few out, let them thaw, and enjoy! • Adding a bit of lemon juice to your smoothie can also help to preserve it, as the acidity slows down the oxidation process.
