Why Are bananas so good for you?
You should make sure to make this fruit a part of your daily diet, because bananas are an excellent source of nutrients for your body because they contain six essential minerals and vitamins such as potassium, vitamin B6, magnesium vitamin C, copper and magnesium.
How To Freeze the bananas, and why?
Freezing the bananas is performed to hold the initial vitamins and minerals within the fruit. Several different studies showed that these nutrients were found to stay intact for up to a year after being frozen, and some bananas were found to have a higher level of antioxidants than the fresh ones.
You can either freeze a whole peeled banana or cut it into slices. Place it in an air-tight zip bag or a container, and freeze it until ready to use! It’s perfect for smoothies, shakes or even baking. If you don’t have time to freeze your bananas, there’s always the option of buying frozen bananas.
Some people have concerns about the taste. It is true that the bananas will lose their firmness but they will still have the same taste and nutritional value.
How to make this simple recipe:
Place all the ingredients: 2 bananas, a handful of baby spinach, 1 apple, oat milk, chia seeds and agave nectar into a blender. Blend for 1 minute or until it fully formed into a smooth texture.
Pour into glasses and enjoy!! I really enjoyed this smoothie with chocolate pancakes.
So easy and incredibly delicious!
