Check out my new “How to Freeze Bananas” post with step-by-step pictures.

I love smoothies!  I could eat them every day in the summer.  And, in my opinion, the best smoothies are those made with frozen bananas.

The first time I tried to freeze bananas I wasn’t exactly sure how to do it, so I just put the whole banana in the freezer – peel and all.

That was a mistake.

I thought I would save you the “figuring out” and share with you a better way to freeze bananas so you don’t have to freeze your fingers off trying to get a brown, slimy peel off a half-frozen, mushy banana.
