Frozen bananas

I've heard a lot of people raving about frozen bananas here and I'd like to try it for myself. One question, though - should I freeze it with the peel on or off?

frozen bananas are amazing.

you can either cut it into pieces and use it for making creamy smoothies, or you can freeze it whole. but either way, peel it.

if you freeze it with the peel on, it's impossible to get it off.

freeze it with the peel off, else it takes too long to thaw or you'll have to microwave it. What I do is put it in waxed paper so it doesn't stick, and I usually add a popsicle stick. Or just put it in a ziplock bag and freeze :-)

I normally don't like banana's, but i decided to try them frozen.  Was I wrong, they are very good and healthy.  Trust me you will like them.

I chop mine into chunks and freeze them in a tupperware container. I make smoothies with them mostly (works great--no need to add any sweetener to the smoothie), but the other day I blended about a cup and half with maybe 1/2 cup skim milk and a splash of vanilla.  I kept stirring the blender until it was all smooth and it was = to soft serve ice cream. SO GOOD!

I also love it because I can't stand bananas once they start to get the least bit of brown on them (for fresh, I like a tinge of green still), and so I can freeze them once they get to that stage rather than throw them out.

Hmm this is very interesting. I am going to have to try it.

So what I get out of this is you buy new banana's and freeze them. Eat them frozen as a snack?

This sounds really good.

I freeze my banana's to make homemade banana bread. I didn't know about this though. Thank you for making this board and giving me a new snack idea. :)

yeah, it's a great snack, very creamy. I peel it, wrap it in that Press 'n Seal wrap and just pop it in the freezer, whole or cut up. I actually have one in there right now. the other day I had it with a little sugar free chocolate syrup- amazing! I'm dying to try it with some PB.

I saw some chocolate covered frozen bananas in the store the other day...covered with nuts.  They were loaded with calories though.

Mmmmm Frozen banana's sounds delish

I tried it, and it's just as delicious as everyone has said! It tastes like banana ice cream. Tonight I'm planning on chopping one up and mixing it in with my vanilla frozen yogurt for dessert. Yum!
