That's a really good idea! I'll have to do some experimenting this weekend!! Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm going to first go to Target. They usually have really cool sports bottles - so I'll see if I can find a couple with straws.
I think what I am going to try is making a smoothie with enough for 2 or 3 servings. I'm going to freeze HALF in ice cube trays and the other half I will just pour into the sports bottles and put in the fridge. Then when I am ready, I will take one out of the fridge and put a bunch of the ice cubes in it.
Does that sound like it would work? If anyone thinks it won't PLEASE feel free to jump in. I'm new at this, so any feedback before I make a disaster is appreciated

I made a batch of smoothies last night at around 7pm. I put half in the fridge and froze the other half in ice cube trays. At 7am this morning I put the ice cubes into the smoothie and I left for work. I am happy to say that I am sipping my smoothie now and it is FABULOUS!!!! So in case there is any question - yes, this way works
I ended up getting some nice sports bottles that are made by thermos, so they are keeping the smoothie nice and cold, but allowing the ice cubes to melt enough to be able to drink it through the straw!

Sorry I never got back, I missed this, My banana milk smoothie went very brown and yuck when I froze it, now I just keep frozen berries in the freezer and have a dishwasher safe smoothie blender so I make them in the morning.

I buy a huge bag of frozen strawberries at Sam's Club and then put 10 strawberries in a baggie. I make up 10-20 baggies at a time so that in the morning I can throw my soy milk, banana, strawberries and honey in a blender. It takes up precious little time so I can make my smoothie and start my day.

stable and sooooooo thankful!
I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

Sam's Club is a great idea. That's where I bought my bananas and strawberries this time around. I cut them all up and froze them in separate baggies as you suggested! It works well for me so far!
Making them in the morning before work is basically not an option for me. I leave myself NO time to do anything extra, as I like my sleep very much
