  4. If you use frozen fruit your smoothie will come out thick and cold.
  5. We suggest pre-freezing bananas for smoothies.
  6. Just peel the bananas and cut them into 1-inch chunks, put into a sealed container and freeze. Use as needed.
  7. If you like to drink smoothies, you can pre-freeze several chopped banana chunks and always have them on hand.
  8. When you use frozen fruits, you can omit the ice cubes.
