I swear, bananas have about a 2-day shelf life for me before I’m unwilling to eat them – they can’t have even a hint of green on them OR a few brown spots – see, 2 day shelf life.

The minute I see those spots, I just slice them up, flash freeze and then transfer to a Ziploc bag. It’s a great way to eliminate waste and reserve them for a later use like in this skinny banana smoothie. (Or just let them get totally black, and then…banana bread!)

Ingredients needed for this Banana Smoothie

You only need 3!

Diet root beer

Nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt

Banana

It tastes like dessert, but it’s actually low calorie. Basically, the best kind of drink.

How To Freeze Bananas

You can use ripe bananas that aren’t frozen, but frozen banana slices make the smoothie thicker and creamier.

To freeze bananas, slice and put on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, stick in the freezer for 45 minutes, then transfer to a freezer safe plastic Ziploc bag and place in the freezer until ready to use.

Make it a dessert drink

If you’re not worried about calories, indulge and make this more decadent.

Swap out the nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt for vanilla ice cream

Add in 1-2 tablespoons of homemade chocolate sauce

Top it off with some homemade whipped cream
