What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Fabulous Fixings: Banana-Anna Smoothie! Remember the last time you bought a bunch of bananas and then tried to beat-the-clock before they turned brown and mushy? Here’s a solution to getting caught on that hamster wheel. Slice up a banana. Place the pieces on a cookie sheet in a single layer, without touching. Freeze for 24 hours; then transfer banana slices to a ziplock freezer bag. Store in the freezer until needed. Use the frozen bananas in your next breakfast smoothie. Done and done.
BANANA-ANNA SMOOTHIE
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen banana slices
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions:
Combine frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract in a high speed blender. Blend on High until smooth. Pulse, if necessary, to break up the chunks. Pour into a glass. Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg and enjoy.
Mmmmm…. I have a Yonana machine and, without the milk, this will be a great recipe. Thx!!!!

Sounds delicious – I usually eat all my bananas so will have to buy more to freeze 🙂

I actually made this and it upset my stomach – I’ll stick with my strawberry and a little banana smoothie!

That’s a great tip Gail! Bananas seem to be turning brown faster than usual.
