Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana

How to freeze a banana

Because the best smoothies start with perfectly frozen bananas.

1. Let your bananas ripen until they’re spotty and sweet.
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Peel your bananas and slice them into 2-inch chunks. This size is both bite-sized and ideal for the blender.
4. Spread the pieces in a single layer on your tray so they freeze evenly. Pop the tray into the freezer and let it do its thing while you sleep.
5. Once frozen solid, transfer the pieces into a resealable bag or airtight container. Your bananas will be ready for your smoothies for the next 6 months.

Recipe

1. It’s as simple as this: Pop everything into your blender and blitz until smooth, thick, and creamy.
2. Pour into your favourite glass (or shaker if you’re on the go) and sip your way into the day.
