Expert Tips for Success

👩‍🍳Jami's Pro Tips: Want to take this recipe to the next level? Check out my expert tips below for the best flavor, texture, and meal prep hacks!

✔️ DO Use ripe and sweet cantaloupe for the best flavor.

How to Prepare Frozen Bananas

  1. Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into smaller pieces.
  2. Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours or until they are completely frozen.
  4. Once frozen, you can proceed with blending the chilled banana slices along with the other ingredients for a thicker and frostier smoothie experience.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after blending to retain its fresh flavors and textures.

Recipe FAQs

Can I add ice to the smoothie for a colder texture?

Yes! Adding a few ice cubes before blending can make the smoothie even more refreshing.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Can you freeze smoothies?

Yes! Freezing smoothies is a convenient way to prepare them in advance, save time, and have a quick and healthy option ready whenever you need it. When you're ready to enjoy the smoothie, transfer it to the refrigerator the night before to thaw.
