TIPS:

• I had previously cubed and frozen the melon, pear apple, flax seed and salba together.  you can speed up your smoothie making process by taking a little bit of time each week to pre-package your own ingredients into single serving containers. 

• Another great time saver is pre-washing and drying your greens and storing in bags with all of the air squeezed out of the bag.  You can only do this a few days in advance, but then there is also the option of freezing the portions of greens with the fruit. 

• I also make green cubes by blending my dark leafy greens with some lemon and a little water, then pour the puree into ice cube trays and freeze.  I do this when the greens are starting to wilt and I don't want to waste them.
