When the ‘nanners on your counter start getting a little too long in the tooth, peel ’em and freeze ’em.
Later, cut your frozen banana into chunks, add 1/2 cup of yogurt, a sizable drizzle of honey or agave nectar, and enough milk or soymilk to bring the total volume up to about 14 oz. Add a dash of cinnamon and blend until smooth (stick blenders are great for this job). Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top, and presto – one breakfast shake.
This, by the way, is an excellent vehicle for blending in nasty supplement things like fiber, bran, flax-seed oil, etc.
