Saturday was a very busy day so I had to take my smoothie with me. We went to ComicCon in Baltimore. Maybe, when I reach my weight loss goals, I can go in costume next year. I could be Storm! LOL. If you want to travel with your smoothies, here are some tips:
- A glass bottle or container is the best way to store your smoothie. A mason jar will do. Don’t use stainless steel.
- Smoothies can leave a good deal of gunk that you’ll have to clean out when the leftover smoothie dries on the inside of the container. Pick a container that is simple and will be easy to clean.
- Keep the oxygen out. Pick a container with a tight seal and fill it as close to the top as you can.
- Keep it cool. Use an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack. You can also substitute ice in your recipe for water you would normally use and use frozen fruit to keep the drink cool longer.
