Tip 5: Flash-Freeze Bananas
Bananas are the basis for many weight loss smoothie recipes. But bananas ripen and go bad quickly and many recipes only use a half banana to keep the calorie count in control. So how do you keep bananas on hand without wasting all those extra halves? I flash-freeze bananas to save time and money.
To freeze the bananas, peel 5-7 ripe bananas and cut them in half. Then take the halves and lay them out on a cookie tray.
Place the entire tray in the freezer for about an hour. Make sure the tray stays flat so the bananas don’t roll together. Remove the tray and throw the bananas into a freezer bag and place the bag back in the freezer.
The bananas won’t stick together in the bag and you’ll always have a fresh banana ready for your recipe.
