Can You Save Leftover Strawberry Smoothies?

Yes, you can save any leftover smoothie if you want. The chia pudding lasts up to 5 days, so they can even be made ahead of time. This is an excellent option for meal planning. I recommend waiting to put the banana in until right before serving, so it helps keep it chilled and the right texture.

If you place already blended smoothie in the fridge, you may notice some slight separation of the ingredients. This is perfectly normal, and you can simply stir or shake the smoothie to mix the ingredients back together.

Another option is to freeze the blended chia pudding smoothies. Simply follow the directions to prepare them and store them in a freezer-safe container. They will last 3-4 weeks in the freezer. Thaw them in the fridge for a couple of hours, and you can enjoy!
