How To Make The Best Banana Smoothie

Bananas are one of the best fruits to use in smoothies since they are so versatile.
Bananas combine well with other fruits to make a fruit smoothie.

Alternatively, you can use bananas with nut milk and cacao powder to make a healthy milkshake.

Bananas are also great sweeteners for your smoothie and easily disguise the taste of usually unpalatable smoothie ingredients.

You can use ripe or frozen bananas, add a liquid and other smoothie products and blend these ingredients.

How To Freeze Bananas For Smoothies

If you have a surplus of ripe bananas, your best option is to freeze them.

First, peel the bananas, cut them up into 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces, put them on a baking tray, and freeze them.

The next step is to put the bananas in a zip lock bag, remove the air from the bags, seal and place them in the freezer for easy access.
