Smoothie Kits

Summer introduced me to Daily Harvest smoothies, a company that sends pre-frozen green smoothie kits to your doorstep. You just add your own liquid and blend. She then found an instyle.com article that shared some recipes for Daily Harvest smoothies. Since we're already avid smoothie makers, we decided not to spend $7+ to receive smoothie kits at our doorsteps.

Making the smoothies was an involved chopping and measuring activity. At first I was going to record every step of the process. After the first smoothie kits I gave up the idea and just decided to show a picture of the completed smoothies in the top drawer of my fridge's freezer.

I made 6 quart-sized kits for each smoothie. Summer was more ambitious and made 12 each. These are the smoothies I made this time.
