HOW TO SERVE The Incredible Green

Serving The Incredible Green is very simple. You can pour it directly into a tall glass and add your favorite garnish. A slice of kiwi or some fresh blueberries on top adds a colorful touch and makes the drink look appealing. You can also serve it with a colorful straw for a fun presentation.

STORAGE & FREEZING: The Incredible Green

If you have leftovers or want to make this drink in advance, you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, to keep the taste fresh and vibrant, it is best to drink it right after making it. If you want to freeze it, pour the drink into ice cube trays and freeze. You can later blend the frozen cubes into a smoothie or enjoy them in a refreshing frozen treat.

• Add Protein: For a protein boost, include a scoop of your favorite protein powder before blending.

FAQs

This way, you only need to blend and serve! Enjoy your healthy drink without the morning rush.
