Bananas

Peel bananas and pop them right in the freezer. Even better, slice bananas and spread with peanut butter, then freeze. You can add them directly to smoothies, dip in melted chocolate, thaw them for banana bread, or toss them in the banana in the blender for a froyo–like vegan dessert.

 

Eggs

If you have leftover eggs and don’t want them to go bad, crack them, mix the yolks and whites together and pour the mixture into an ice cube tray. Two cubes are the equivalent of one egg.

 

Grapes

Put some grapes into a plastic bag, and store them in the freezer. You can snack on them (beware, they’re addictive!), or use them to chill your favorite wine.

 

Herbs

Finely chop herbs, then place them in an ice cube tray along with a bit of water. When you’re ready to cook with them, just remove a cube and add it to your pot. Always fresher than frogro!

 

Yogurt

Put your favorite yogurt into a plastic bag, cut a hole at the bottom, and pipe small dots onto cookie sheet. Pop it in the freezer, and in about an hour you’ll have a refreshing and healthy frozen snack. You can even freeze strawberries dipped in yogurt for a sweet treat!

 

Nuts Keeping nuts in the freezer keeps them from getting rancid, and the high fat content means they defrost in no time. Bulk almonds make a fantastic snacks, maybe paired with a frozen banana.
