Just add a scoop of ice cubes to make it nice and cold.
Use Ripe Bananas
My favorite ingredient to use in smoothies is frozen, ripe banana.
It needs enough structure to be successfully frozen (not total mush) but should be super sweet.
Simply Recipes / Alison Bickel
Ripe bananas add natural sweetness to the smoothie so you dont have to add honey or other sweeteners.
Freezing them keeps your drink cold and makes the mixture unbelievably creamy.
Store-bought frozen fruit is a convenient option and is especially handy when berry season is long gone.
Simply Recipes / Alison Bickel
Keep bags tightly closed and consistently frozen to avoid icy, dull-tasting fruit.
To freeze strawberries: Give them a good wash, drain, and let them completely dry.
Cap the berries and slice them in half, placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Theyll keep for two months.
To freeze bananas:Simply peel and slice into chunks.
Scoop into a zip-top freezer bag, squeeze out the air, and seal.
Frozen bananas will keep for a month.
