I use ours mostly for smoothies with no problems. I looked online & it says peeled bananas will stay good up to 4 months & unpeeled 2 months.

I have a few in the freezer all peeled and am thinking of making smoothies this afternoon. Any advice? Recipe?

I like banana blueberry. I use 2 bananas, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1 cup or so of almond milk.
I also like pineapple, strawberries, banana. I use a banana, about 10-12 frozen strawberries, 20 chunks frozen pineapple, 1 cup or so of almond milk.
If you have fresh fruit instead of frozen to use I would use less liquid & add some ice.
I make these in the Vitamix for me & DH.

Bananas are the great sweeteners of the smoothie world. I just chunk them up into a gallon bag and freeze for use in smoothies. I buy two bunches at a time and freeze. I also like them instead of ice to chill the smoothie. I love the recipes above, but can't use pinapple due to the level of fructose in it.

I actually let my bananas really ripen on the counter before attempting to freeze (but my purpose is to only use them in smoothies or protein pancakes). I peel them, cut in half, and place each half in a snack size Baggie and write the date with a Sharpie. I have a container in the freezer I keep my stash of frozen bananas.
I want to warn you, when the power goes out the first thing that defrosts is the bananas and they make a terrible mess. That is why I keep my stash in a plastic bin in the freezer (where I live the power goes out frequently).

One of the best things I discovered is called PB2. It is basically powered Peanut Butter. When you add it to recipes, it provides a delicious peanut butter flavor with 80% less fat! Try adding it to a smoothie with a banana...life changing!

I saw that this weekend at the store. I thought it was just powdered PB. So it has all the benefits without all the fat, right?

I freeze my bananas all the time but they never last more than a few weeks. We recently bought a Ninja and use them in our smoothies.
1 Cup of unsweetened Almond Milk
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1T of Black Chia seeds
And a few pieces of either frozen pineapple or nectarines
We now always have frozen fruit for our smoothies and we think it is a good way to get our fruit in for the day.
