In my view frozen bananas are great for making smoothies. When using frozen bananas you haven’t got to fret about using ice cubes to make smoothie creamy. The frozen banana makes the smoothie thick and creamy.

You may easily discover a bag of frozen banana in super markets. But Freezing banana at home could be very easy. Take ripe bananas, peel off skin, cut into thick rounds. Place it in a baking sheet and place it into your freezer. Freeze overnight or preferably 6 to eight hours.

Once frozen, collect the frozen banana and put it inside a freezer secure ziploc bag and keep frozen till use.

Sometimes I even freeze whole bananas with skins on. It is sort of easy to peel off the skins from the banana when frozen. You should utilize frozen bananas in smoothies, thaw and use in baking as well.
