How to Keep Bananas Fresh for Smoothies

Would you like to keep your bananas from ripening too quickly? The ripeness of your banana can affect the taste of your smoothie, so always opt for golden yellow bananas when you can (not green, and not brown) 🙂

Here are some simple ways you can keep your bananas for smoothies fresh…

  • Separate bananas while they ripen on your counter
  • Don’t let bananas touch each other
  • Store bananas in a dark, cool place
  • Keep away from other fruits… especially tomatoes and melons!
  • Wrap banana stems with plastic wrap.

The right method for you will depend on how warm you keep your home and how long you need your bananas to last. So go ahead and give all of the methods a try to see which one works best for you!

Protein Smoothie Variations

Want to mix up your flavors? Go for it!

Rather than strawberries, try one of these tasty swaps…

  • Blackberries
  • Blueberries
  • Raspberries
  • or Mixed Berries
