    YES!!! This girl! :) I buy strawberries and bananas and cut them up and store them in freezer bags ... 2 large strawberries and 1/2 a banana cut up per bag. My recipe is super good too and very filling. I also freeze my yogurt in 1/2 cup serving containers ... more cost effective and better for you then buying frozen yogurt plus thickens up the smoothie to a more milkshake consistency. :)

    Fruit that I cut and freeze in freezer bags makes waaay better smoothies than fruit you buy frozen at the store, in my opinion! I do keep fresh bananas on hand to add in when I make my smoothies (they blend better than frozen). Don't be afraid to add to it! A handful of spinach will give a fiber/calcium boost and go completely unnoticed... I often add honey, vanilla or a few almonds. Yum!

    I buy Costco's Wawona Tropical Fruit; mango, papaya, pineapple & strawberries; in the freezer section.
    Just because fresh fruit spoils so fast.

    I like mine with yogurt, but have been told people make smoothies / slush with them.

    I would love your recipe if you don't mind to share with us all :)

    I have froze clementines and bananas before. I just peeled them, cut them and laid them out on a plate to freeze.

    If you have an Aldis where you leave they have a great selection of frozen fruit that is priced good.

    Thank you for posting this question. I didn't even think of freezing my own fruit! Definitely saving this idea as smoothies have been my breakfast every morning.

    I freeze all my fruits! To prevent them from drying out or getting freezer burn I put it in the juice that I'm going to make it with so all I have to do is blend and serve.
