How to freeze bananas for smoothiesTo freeze bananas, peel them, slice them into coins and freeze them on wax paper or parchment paper on a baking sheet or cutting board until frozen solid. Once frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer safe bag for 1-2 weeks.Can you make smoothies ahead of timeMaking smoothies ahead can be tricky as they tend to separate if stored in the fridge for too long. One thing you can do is pack your blender the night before (with everything but the frozen bananas) so you can make the smoothie in just a minute in the morning if you are short on time.How to store leftover smoothiesThe best way to store leftover smoothies is to pour them into ice cube trays and freeze them into ice cubes. Then you can pop them out of the ice cube trays and store them in a freezer safe bag for up to 1 month.The next time you are making a smoothie, pop a few of these smoothie cubes in with the new smoothie and it will help make it cold and add some extra nutrition.
