Freeze overripe bananas (good for smoothies)

When I find myself with an overripe banana I won't use, I freeze it ready for ice-cold smoothies or frozen yoghurt (a good idea for berries too).

Peel and chop your banana

Place in a freezer-proof container in a single layer so they don't clump together as they freeze

Once frozen, you can transfer to a freezer bag (to save space in your freezer).
