Don’t waste bananas – freeze them
There are a few ways you can freeze bananas
- with the peel on
- freeze with the peel off, place in a freezer/ziplock bag to prevent freezer burn, they may turn brown to prevent this brush them with some lemon juice
- Peeled and sliced, place in a freezeable container or ziplock bag and use for smoothies. Again they may go brown, brush them with some lemon juice
How to use peeled frozen bananas
- Place in freezer with peel still on
- On the day you would like to use them in a recipe leave them on the bench to thaw for approx 2 hours
- If you don’t have time for them to thaw defrost them in microwave for a few minutes on medium
- Once thawed remove peel, add banana to a bowl and mash.
