Smoothie bombs are your new secret weapon to supercharging any smoothie with nutrition and using up excess produce (ahem...I'm talking about the sad container of spinach hiding at the back of your fridge). Next time you're making a smoothie, add one of the bombs to your blender with your other ingredients of choice. More nutrition and less waste... Now we're talking!

Each makes: about 32 cubes 

Start to finish: 5 minutes

Directions
  • Combine each bomb's listed ingredients, pour into an ice cube tray, and freeze overnight. Once frozen, the smoothie bombs can be transferred to a reusable freezer bag. When ready to make a smoothie, transfer one to three cubes to a blender with 1 cup of plant-based milk plus other ingredients, such as fresh fruit or greens, as desired. Blend until smooth.
  • Alternatively, you can add three or four of the anti-inflammatory, fiber-filled, or berry bombs to 1 cup of plant-based milk and allow them to melt for an on-the-go premade smoothie.

Storage: Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Save the Scraps: Banana peels for Two-Way “Bacon” Street (page 50). Pineapple skin for Pineapple Skin Tea (page 302) or Tangy Tepache (page 304). Date seeds for Date Seed Coffee (page 300).

Fruity, Spicy Anti-Inflammatory Bombs
