Is it OK to keep a smoothie overnight? What's your favourite smoothie to make?

[TheDevilInside]

Anyone has experience with home made smoothies?

Is it OK to blend the fruits and veggies the night before and then store them in the fridge overnight? Or might there be some kind of dangerous chemical reaction between the ingredients that might be harmful in any kind of way?

Also: what's your favourite smoothie?

It loses the majority of its nutrients and becomes stale.

Make it prior to consumption for best results.

Also, try freezing the fruits, not veggies, to keep them fresh and healthy.

can't you also freeze some veggies as well?

The texture gets ruined, and through nutrients are lost. Smoothies and fresh squeezed juices should be consumed immediately.

It doesn't taste the same. I don't recommend it.

[TheDevilInside]

what would be the difference?

[Opinion Owner]

The liquid will go down while the fruity junks go up. It seperates.

[TheDevilInside]

oh yuck!

[TheDevilInside]

so does that mean that if I don't drink it immediately (make it in the morning to consume at lunch), it would also be that way too?

You could shake it. But it won't be the same. Try it, just to get an idea.

I'd mostly be using ilk or yogurt. Would they stay unseparated then if I use milk and/or yogurt?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I make my smoothies with milk. I don't use yogurt.

[TheDevilInside]

does the milk get separated from the other stuff?

[Opinion Owner]

It does.

Strawberry-Pineapple is delicious. I imagine it would be fine since it's fruits and veggies.

[shangri-Ia]

mm! sounds delish. i should get some strawberries later to make this smoothie. :>

My dad did that all the time. It just wasn't fresh and didn't taste as good the day before.

[PT1911]

No it ruins. Don't do it.
