Storage Suggestions
I recommend making this smoothie fresh every day, as it has milk in it.
You can also store it in the fridge for about 2 days.
It will split a bit, so shake it well before you drink it.
If by any chance, you have leftovers, you can freeze this smoothie.
If you are making a big batch, then store it into freezer-safe and clean Mason jars, and freeze.
Whenever you plan to drink it again, place a smoothie jar in the fridge and defrost overnight.
