Step 1: Let them get all spotty or sorta spotty
Step 2: Peel them, please peel them – I have seen people put whole bananas with the skins in the freezer. This is gross and a time waster. When and if you do finally pull them out of the freezer they will be mush and the peels will have turned purple black and you will be trying to pull off a tough peel while banana goo is oozing everywhere. Peel them.
Step 3: Put them in a ziploc bag
Step 4: Put the bag in the freezer
Step 5: Feel content that you will have delicious smoothies or banana bread when YOU are ready to make it
Step 6: Think of more steps
Step 7: They’re probably frozen by now, go make a smoothie 😉

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I only JUST put bananas in the freezer TWO days ago and just now seeing this blog post. ARGH. As I’m sure you have surmised….I.did.not.PEEL.the.freakin.bananas. I even Googled it too. And they have this putrid ‘color’ of sorts. That is all as I hang my head in shame.
I so chuckled when I read this and can’t believe the timing of the post vs your experience! Hopefully they were still salvageable. 🙂
I find it easier to cut the bananas up, or leave them whole on a cookie sheet with a sheet of wax paper. Once their frozen, put them into the zip lock bag. They don’t stick together this way! 🙂
Great tip Kerstin!
