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 strawberry banana protein shake, so always opt for golden yellow bananas when you can (not green, and not brown) 🙂
Here are my favorite Kitchen Tips for keeping bananas fresh for your strawberry protein shake…
- 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!

- I like to use Frozen Strawberries, but if using fresh strawberries, you can add in some ice cubes to create more of an ice cold smoothie consistency.

I love making these kind of smoothies but I have been hesitant to use yogurt because I do not like eating them. If you can’t really taste the yogurt much in these smoothies, I know I will like them, guess I need to try one soon to see 🙂

Hi Rosie ~ this serves 1 {or you could make 2 small servings}. Hope that helps!
