Smoothies are a great way to put a little fruit in your diet, especially during the hot summer months. They can keep you cool and are fun to make, but my problem is I can never make the right amount!
Maybe it's the size of my glass or oversized fruit choices there's always just a little left! Here are five things you can do with smoothie leftovers:
1. Ice Cube Trays: Toss that smoothie into an ice cube tray and freeze it. Then it's available to toss into your next creation or a glass of lemonade.
2. Paper Cups: Little bits of smoothie can be a great popsicle snack. If you have a mold, that's extra awesome, just pour it in. If not, try using small paper cups or even coffee cups with sticks until things are frozen solid.
3. Add Them To Baked Goods: You can usually sub in a little pureed fruit for fats in many recipes. Brownies are a great one to test this out on. Just keep the mix in the fridge for up to a week and put them to use next time you turn on the oven.
4. Silpat + Oven: Make your own fruit leather. Pace your puree on a silpat in the oven on 200 degrees and let things gel. This trick works best on non-dairy smoothies.
5. Pudding Please: An extra cup of liquid can be a great thing to mix into your pudding. Simply replace an equal part of regular milk, let set and enjoy.
