Freezing your own fruit is fast and easy.

Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries well. Cut the stems off the tops of the strawberries, then slice each lengthwise.

Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) rounds.

To freeze your fruits: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place strawberries and banana slices on it, flat sides down. Freeze for three hours and then transfer to a freezer-safe zip-top bag.
