Question: Can I make smoothies ahead? Do smoothies lose their nutrients if they are made ahead and refrigerated?
Answer: Smoothies do lose some of their nutrients if sitting for longer periods of time. But if that was my only option, I wouldn't let that stop me from blending a smoothie ahead of time.
If you want to prevent oxidation, blend in some lemon juice or part of a peeled lemon. Even with some of the nutrient loss, it'll still be a healthier option than a lot of other things.
If you need to be on-the-go, you can pour your freshly made smoothie into a cold thermos. Then you can take your smoothie with you.
Sometimes, I blend a smoothie and place it in the freezer. I then take it out about a half hour before I want to drink it.
I hope this helps!
Happy Blending!
