Mason Jar Smoothies

So my boyfriend and I both like to take smoothies for breakfast during the work week but if I'm not subbing or home he usually doesn't make it on his own. I had a thought to bag up some fruit into freezer bags that are ready to throw in the blender in the morning. But then I had another thought, a better thought, just pre-make the smoothies and freeze them in mason jars :) This way he can grab and go in the morning with no hassle. 

I only have a version of the magic bullet so I was unable to make a huge batch at one time but I did make about 4 bullets full of smoothies and filled 8 mason jars. I made them with skim milk, mixed fruit and yogurt. 

8 jars ready to throw in the freeze and pull out when needed. I did do a little research about thawing them, different blogs have said take out the smoothie the night before, leave in the fridge and just shake up in the morning. Now I know my boyfriend will never remember to do this, so he takes one out in the morning and runs it until hot water once he gets to work then shakes and enjoys :)
