Highlights & Tips
When making smoothies it's best to invest in a blender that has a strong enough motor to last for a few years. There are some great ones out there but this Ninja blender does the job and is under $100. If you want to invest in a blender that will last a long time purchase a Vitamix blender.

You can make your own nut milk. Cashew is a great silky milk but you can use any nut milk you prefer.

Budget Tips
If you want to save a little money make your own smoothies. If you buy your produce in bulk and clean and prep things yourself you will save a little money. I purchase some of my fruit & vegetables at a club like Costco. Its best to purchase frozen berries when making smoothies. It costs less and the fruit will last longer for you which will allow you to enjoy them in other dishes.

Storing your fruit is best to place them in food containers specifically made to hold fruit and vegetables. If you store your produce correctly you will get a longer shelf life out of them.

If you have left over nut milk or smoothie mix use a tight sealed glass pitcher to hold your product. This will also extend the shelf life and should last 3-4 days.
