How to Freeze Bananas for Thick, Creamy and Healthy Smoothies
Every smoothie lover knows the road to a thick and delicious smoothie is paved with frozen bananas.
Low in fat, a medium banana packs around 3 grams of fiber for roughly 100 calories. And when frozen, bananas have a creamy consistency that's akin to frozen custard, making frozen bananas superior to regular bananas because they make a smoothie thicker (and more satisfying) without adding additional calories.
Frozen banana newbies, take note: You could make a grave error in the pursuit of smoothie glory, like Twitter user @glitterbxmb.
Seriously, how gross is a frozen banana peel? Failing to remove the peels from bananas results in a brownish-black mess.

Level up your smoothie game by taking off the peel before freezing your bananas.
