Recently, I've been making 100% fruit smoothies for my family. They've been a hit, but I'm thinking I'd like to hide some veggies in there. What, if any, veggies can I hide in the smoothies without drastically affecting the texture or taste?
Much of the fruit in mine are frozen, so they're very cold. In fact, I've taken to mixing them a little a half hour before serving time, then letting the frozen fruits soften a little in the blender. Then, at serving time, I blend it all again. I don't know if this will make a difference in your answers.
And, so far, I haven't had to store any smoothie longer than overnight, but I was thinking of making up a bunch, then storing it in one of those mixing pitchers so I can more easily have some during the day or whenever. I know adding lemon juice will help preserve it, but for how long? How much lemon juice? Is it just going to look icky after 24 hours?
