When I make sorbet I freeze it into cubes and add this to my smoothies for extra flavour
If I have bought any canned or jarred fruit I freeze the leftover liquid into ice cubes
If I have made too much smoothie I just freeze it into ice cubes and add it next time or set it aside in the fridge as a snack. Yes it is ideal to drink it straightaway but snacking on this later is still a great option.
Ideally use almonds that have been activated to make them easier to digest.
