    Markets in the afternoon where they’re selling “2lbs of Bananas for a £1” usually they will do them cheaper too or add some other fruit and ask for the best “2lbs of Bananas for a £1” price they’ll do for the “2lbs of Bananas for a £1” lot.

    As above, cheap end-of-day bananas and frozen fruit from the likes of Aldi. Dirt cheap!

    Go to market and make bananna bread with the cheap bruised ones they give away – well if you know them well enough and bring them some of the cake 😉

    i presume he lives in the uk…. and most smoothies centre round the banana ….. thats that idea out the window.

    I once tried growing mint as i love mint in my smoothies – everywhere said – grow it in a pot it becomes a nuiscence otherwise

    so you would think if i put it in the ground it would thrive – It died. ! FFS

    My local green grocer has a box full of bashed,ripe stuff. This is what you want. Take it home and freeze it.

    Some of the frozen fruit has added sugar. Don’t know why they need to do that but they do.

    I never found it cost effective to make them, when innocent ones are £5 for 2 cartons in Asda.

    Nom nom the apple, lime and kiwi one is lovely.

    Depends how much juice or yoghurt you put in I suppose. I used to make them from banana, mango, oranges and a lemon, cost quite a bit.

    The juice bit is easy buy the cheapest apple juice they sell as it’s going to browned out by the fruit, then buy the bargain fruit as mentioned or at supermarkets when they’re near the end of the date. I’ve picked up bags of bananas in supermarkets for 20p because they were going out of date.
