I make green smoothie in the morning and I dont want to do it again in the evening. Is it fine if I use the same smoothie in the evening or there are some problems.
Thanks

One problem that I've had in the past with making smoothies ahead of time is getting the right consistency because many smoothie recipes rely on ice or frozen fruit to thicken them and thus are not great after several hours in the refrigerator.
I found and have been been playing with a make-ahead recipe that includes oatmeal and chia seeds placed dry in the blender and processed to the consistency of flour to thicken the smoothie, which means you can make them ahead of time without sacrificing thickness.

As long as your ingredients are reasonably fresh and you refrigerate the smoothie over the day then it should be fine to save it to the evening. It should keep in the fridge for at least a couple of days.
It'll be fine.
The best is to fill a container to the top and cover it tightly so it's not exposed to air.
That will minimize the oxidization and keep flavor and nutrient's intact. Otherwise you'll see a deeper green/brown color change.
