Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch chunks.
- Arrange banana chunks in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, lightly toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Wash and dry spinach leaves, then pack them into an ice cube tray, filling each compartment about three-quarters full. Press down gently.
- Fill each spinach compartment with water to cover the leaves.
- Place both the baking sheet with banana chunks and the ice cube tray in the freezer. Freeze until solid, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once frozen, transfer banana chunks to a resealable freezer bag. Pop out spinach cubes and store in a separate freezer bag. Use as needed in smoothies.
Tips
- Use overripe bananas for extra sweetness.
- Frozen banana chunks and spinach cubes can be stored for up to 3 months.
- Add a handful of frozen banana and 1-2 spinach cubes to your favorite smoothie recipe for creaminess and a nutrient boost.
