Spread the love

Daily Harvest is expensive! With this Daily Harvest copycat smoothie prep you can know how to make your own Daily Harvest smoothie without the expensive price tag. Not to mention, these make-ahead smoothies are great for a quick breakfast or a healthy on-the-go lunch.  

I was gifted a weeks worth of Daily Harvest Smoothies a couple months ago, and I LOVED THEM! I especially loved the Mint + Cacao Smoothie! What could be better than a mint chocolate smoothie in the morning? 

I loved that the smoothies were so convenient and great for a meal prep option. Having a quick breakfast option or a healthy on-the-go lunch option was a win in my book.

I started ordering the shakes, but soon realized that I didn’t love the oh-so-expensive price tag every week. I quickly asked myself, “Is Daily Harvest worth it? Is it worth the hefty price tag for the amazing convenience of it all?” The answer for me was NO! I knew there was a better way, and I wanted to test if I could recreate these cups, and do it affordably. So I came up with a recipe to make your own Daily Harvest Smoothie at a fraction of the price. 

That’s where this easy, smoothie prep idea came to mind. I recipe tested several different quantities of ingredients for this copycat Daily Harvest Smoothie recipe, and I think I nailed it friends! 

The amazing part is these “make your own” cups cost so much less! Here is the price breakdown.
