I always keep ripe bananas in the freezer to make banana ice cream and to add into my green smoothies. A ripe banana gives a green smoothie a creamy, ice-cream like consistency.

Blueberry coconut banana ice cream

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 3 frozen bananas
  • 2-3 tablespoons shredded coconut

Find out why the Omega J8006 and VRT 350 are the best juicers.
