Healthy Chia Seed Smoothie Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep

  • Individual Smoothie Bags – Add the Chia Seed smoothie ingredients (less any liquid) to a sandwich bag and seal. Store in the freezer (will hold for 1 month in freezer). 
  • Family Sized Smoothie Bags  – Add several servings worth of ingredients (less any liquid) to a gallon freezer bag. Place a 1/2 cup plastic measuring cup in the bag. Close and seal the bag, and store in the freezer (will hold for 1 month in freezer). 
  • Prepared Smoothies – these smoothies are best made fresh, but you can make them ahead of time and store in a clean jar (with a lid) in the fridge. 

Leftover Storage

  • Fridge Storage – Add any leftover smoothie to a jar (I actually serve them in jars so all I have to do is add a lid). Close and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. 
  • Freezer Storage – Pour any leftover smoothie into ice cube molds, and freeze solid (about 4 hours). Then pop out of the mold and move to a freezer bag to avoid freezer burn. Will hold for 1 month in the freezer.

This Tropical Chia Seed Smoothie recipe is just 338 calories and has 10.4g of protein!
We soak the chia seeds overnight so that they expand. This will give you a super thick shake like smoothie. Though you could add everything in the blender and skip the marinating if that's not important to you.
Special Tip: Don't get the coconut milk in the can, you want the unsweetened coconut milk in the milk section. It's lower in calories and fat!
