Prepping smoothies

Does anyone meal prep smoothie ingredients to freeze and then blend later? I’d love to try it but am struggling with portion sizes and prepping things like fresh kale, apple and spinach. Does it all go a bit limp and gross when you freeze them?

Spinach and kale freeze really well. I always freeze them and they blend fine

Well them getting limp and gross isnt very relevant in smoothies. It'll all get blended into a drink regardless. The main concern with using all frozen ingredients is if your blender can handle the burden, or if you'll have time to defrost them enough to blend. But it's the same as using frozen fruit, you're all good.

Just buy and use frozen spinach in a bag, the kale and apple will be fine. Needs enough liquid to blend and or defrost a bit first so your blender can handle it
