Pro tip: When in doubt, blend up your random, leftover ingredients into smoothies.

Admittedly, as a Costco shopper for one, I'm guilty of purchasing king-size bags of frozen fruit and never finishing them. I also have a bunch of half-eaten jars of random nut butters and honey that always seemed like a good idea at Trader Joe's. The best way to use up all these rando goods? Smoothies. My recommendation is to blend up frozen fruit, some type of liquid (Greek yogurt, nondairy milk, or even canned coconut milk), nut butter, and honey (or agave) to taste.
