In our house, we buy a lot of bananas! We usually go through about 11 pounds of bananas in one week. From smoothies, to fruit platters, to muffins, we can't get enough of them. But sometimes, life happens and we eat less than we thought we would and we are stuck with a bunch of very ripe bananas that we know we won't consume. So instead of making a fourth batch of muffins or wasting them, we freeze them. Before going plant-based it would have never occurred to me to freeze bananas, but it makes so much sense. Frozen bananas are amazing in smoothies, they add a wonderful thickness and make it cold without having to add ice. I also always have them on had for my banana ice cream cravings (recipe to come tomorrow).
So, what's the easiest way to freeze bananas you ask? You simply peel them and cut them in half. Then you place them on a cookie sheet lined with a parchment paper, and place them in the freezer for a few hours. Finally, take them out and simply put them in a freezer bag. I guarantee you they will not stick together and they will be easy to take out as needed. This method applies to anything you would like to freeze.
