In reply to the discussion: Bananas: What to do with 100 pounds? [View all]Jenoch
(7,720 posts)42. I freeze bananas for
strawberry banana smoothies. I love banana bread but since it's so fattening I don't have it much anymore. Since I am pretty much the only person in our house who eats bananas, I onmy buy them three at a time. Managing those three bananas on a rotating basis from green to ripe is as many bananas as I can handle ; )
My 81 year old father's best friend, retired physician has a banana for breakfast every Tuesday. (He's very regimented to say the least). Each Thursday or Friday he and his banana-loathing wife go banana shopping to buy a single banana so it is at the precise ripeness for Tuesday.

I freeze mine - peel and all. When I defrost them,.they are soggy - just right to make banana bread

Not much at all. But then I had to cut them down to the ground every winter, though.

Had to deal with scorpions, too. They suck. Rather, they sting. You know what I mean.

You can make an "ice cream" with frozen bananas, you can use the frozen bananas as a base
