The trick to a fast smoothie is doing the measuring once. On Sunday you build five quart bags of frozen fruit and flax, and on weekday mornings you tip one bag into the blender with milk, yogurt, and protein powder. Sixty seconds later breakfast is in your hand at 30 grams of protein.
Freeze the bags flat so they stack in a corner of the freezer and thaw in minutes. Frozen banana gives the texture of a milkshake without ice, and the berries keep the color and flavor bright.
