Storage Tips:
- Refrigeration: If you have leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Shake or stir well before serving as separation may occur.

- Preparation Tips: Prepare individual smoothie packs by portioning out the frozen bananas and blueberries with honey into resealable bags. Label and freeze these packs for quick smoothie assembly in the future.
