Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. Leftover smoothie can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving as it may separate. Make-Ahead: Pre-portion all dry ingredients and frozen fruits into bags for quick blending. Variations: Use any milk or nut butter of choice. Substitute spinach with kale (remove tough stems). For a tropical twist, add 1/2 cup frozen mango. Serving Suggestion: Enjoy within 30 minutes of a workout for optimal nutrient absorption.
