How To Make Your Own Green Smoothie Jar – 3 Easy Steps
By Laura de Leon
Do you love green smoothies? We do!! We love them so much we used to give out “Green Smoothie Jugs” which contained inspirational and positive words that kept the pep in your step while you sipped your nutritional deliciousness.
We don’t provide those anymore, however. On our path of health and in our commitment to you, we can no longer give you something that we don’t believe is in your best interest to be using. In this case, that is plastic. Our jugs were plastic. BPA free or not, plastic is plastic. We loved the message though!
So since we want you at your BEST and would like to contribute to your ability to minimize toxicities in your environment, please toss your store bought plastic bottles in place of clean, non-toxic glass jars. Then, Body Enlightenment can provide some inspiration (stay tuned for that…)
Here is an EASY, 3-step process for how to make your own Green Smoothie Jug:
Jars/Jugs. For a low price, purchase a set of Mason Jars. You can easily go to Amazon to choose from a wide variety. There are regular mouth vs. wide mouth and either are great options, but be sure the lid(s) you chose will fit. The pint size (16 oz.) is a good size but if you LOVE a large dose of smoothie magic go for 24 oz. or 32 oz. … the sky’s the limit! Try one with a handle if you like that.
Lids. If you want to carry the smoothie around with you and limit mess, we suggest purchasing lids as well. I use the reCAP Mason Jars Pour Cap (pictured below) which go for $7.99 each on Amazon. There are also cute Pewter Daisy Jelly Lids if you want an artistic flair and can limit splashes.
Straws. I use stainless steel bend straws, but do what’s best for you here. You can stick to what you have for now and perhaps buy some cool metallic straws next time you think of it. I just saw a titanium drinking straw on Amazon “the strongest you’ll ever own”!
It is wonderful to have many options as long as we don’t feel overwhelmed. This 3-step process is easy and should do the trick! That said, in the name of simplicity, there are 1-step options as well! Here is a ready-made product for you and your smoothie delights. Check it out below:

Love and green smoothie smiles,
