What Is a Smoothie Pack, and How Do You Use One?
Pre-portioned frozen fruit for one smoothie. Open, pour, add liquid, blend. Here is how they work.
A smoothie pack is one smoothie’s worth of fruit, already washed, cut, portioned and frozen. You tip the whole pack into a blender, add about 250ml of whatever liquid you like, and blend for a minute. That is the entire process. No shopping for five fruits to use a bit of each, no chopping, nothing going soft in the fridge by Thursday.
What goes in ours
Each pack is a fixed blend, so it tastes the same every morning. Double Dose is strawberry, mulberry and apple. Mango Survive leans tropical. Cream of Passion is built around passion fruit. There is nothing in any of them except fruit and vegetables: no sugar, no powder, no yoghurt base. You can see the full list under Smoothie Packs.
What liquid should you add?
Water works and keeps it light. Milk, oat milk or coconut milk make it creamier and more filling. Fresh orange juice makes it sweeter. If you want breakfast rather than a drink, add a spoon of oats or peanut butter before blending.
A few practical notes
Pour the liquid in first, then the fruit, and your blender will thank you. If you have a small or older blender, let the pack sit out for five minutes before blending. Packs keep in the freezer for months, so a week’s supply takes up very little room. And if the power goes, a pack that has thawed is still perfectly good for that day’s smoothie.
