📝 Preparation Steps
1
The first step for freezing bananas is to remove the skin.
2
Next, break them in half or cut them into slices.
3
After you cut or slice your bananas, you can lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent the banana from freezing into a large clump.
4
Freeze the baking sheet for at least ⏱️ 2 hours before transferring the frozen bananas into a zip-top bag from long-term storage of up to 3 months.
5
To use your frozen banana chunks for smoothies, just take out as many bananas as you need for each smoothie (no need to defrost them first).
