How To Freeze Bananas

Today I'm going to be sharing a healthy eating tip with you. I'm going to show you how to freeze bananas. Now, the first step, really, is don't do what I did a little while back and freeze your banana with the skin on - you have to actually peel it first.

So I did make that mistake. You can freeze your bananas whole, and here's one that I just - as you can tell - froze overnight, whole, and it just is absolutely ideal. You can peel your bananas, pop them in whole, leave them for about an hour, and then you can transfer them to a freezer bag.

Equally, what you can do is peel your banana - we find organic ones really do taste better - and chop it up into little bite-sized chunks. Now you can freeze as many bananas as you possibly would like to, and then you can just take out as many chunks as you would like to use. Bananas are a great source of potassium, they have vitamins in there: B vitamins, vitamin C - and freezing them is just a really nice way to enjoy them.

We particularly like blending up frozen bananas because it makes a really healthy ice cream, which is great to give to kids - gorgeous tasty banana ice cream which is just made of bananas, so it's fantastic. There we go, we've rolled it up. Get all of the air out.

You can write the date on there if you need to, of when you froze them, and literally pop them in the freezer. We love smoothies here, and we love smoothies with bananas. So freezing them, if you have an abundance of bananas, is a great addition to your smoothie, because it just makes it really creamy and cold, like it's made with ice cream.

So there you go: that is how you can freeze bananas.
