Then they are already frozen for putting into a tasty cold smoothie with some frozen berries.

Once frozen, I bung them in a ziplock bag.

It's a lot less messy when you go to use them and if I want them in smoothies I don't tend to defrost them (and they are harder to peel frozen). I also think being in a plastic bag they keep more of their flavour.rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03145274373602758797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568586156818852710.post-29641998869587515142010-10-15T22:01:11.036+13:002010-10-15T22:01:11.036+13:00I love that this uses coconut milk and no butter o...I love that this uses coconut milk and no butter or oil - nice for dairy-free friends! I do like how supermarkets tend to sell over-ripe bananas cheaper, but do agree that once they're in the freezer they lose 'something'.hungryandfrozenhttp://www.hungryandfrozen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
