[quote=Anonymous]When we face this situation, we rely on freezing stuff. We belong to a CSA and always end up with the best produce right before big trips, and we've learned how to manage it to avoid feeling wasteful.

We'll focus on buying fruit that can easily be frozen for later- berries, stone fruit, bananas, etc. Even vegetables are easy to freeze. I keep a bag for stock and whatever last  carrots or celery pieces get cut into chunks for stock in the fall. Greens, including kale and even lettuce, can easily be frozen for green smoothies. Just wash and pat dry. We just recently found out that avocado can be frozen for smoothies, too. It gives us some healthy options to look forward to when we return from a trip and don't have time to shop the next morning.

Two smoothie combos my kid likes:

-frozen kale, blueberries, strawberries, banana, pineapple juice, yogurt

-frozen lettuce, frozen kale, kiwi or pineapple juice, fresh ginger. can add frozen pineapple chunks or avocado if you have some.

For green smoothies, adding an acidic juice like pineapple or kiwi makes it much more appealling and removes any bitterness[/quote]
