Do I peel them or not? Thinking of smoothies and banana bread.

Yes- peel them and then cut them into smaller chunks before you freeze them.

I leave the peels on them.. I'm not sure if it matters either way.

I leave the peels on.

Of course they do freeze better if they're covered with chocolate first.

Peel and quarter them and put them in freezer bags or the suction bags before freezing.

I always peel them first....very hard to peel once you freeze them

thanks. my husband always buys too many bananas then they turn brown.

I agree that they're very hard and messy to peel after frozen. I peel, cut them into about 2" sections and freeze in lock 'n lock containers. I also keep fresh pineapple in the freezer processed the same way.

I make banana milk all the time....just straight up 4 bananas with water. I usually buy overripe discounted bananas for next to nothing, package them in my Lock & Lock & freeze. Just recently, I'm making a connection....after I drink my frozen bananas, I get a "sour" feeling @ the bottom of my throat for about 30 minutes. Fresh bananas do not give me that feeling. Have you ever experience that with frozen vs fresh bananas?
