I personally am not a fan of the banana. Way to mushy for me. But it's an affordable fruit and so healthy. Inevitably, the bananas ripen overnight and I'm stuck with a whole lot of them wasting away on the counter. Usually I throw the whole thing in the freezer for banana bread at a later time.This time I decided to peel the bananas and flash freeze them. My intention was for them to be used for smoothies. However, this tray disappeared within a matter of days. Some claimed that the frozen bananas were better than ice cream. Who knew?
I often walk by the spotted, marked down bananas. But no more.

How do you "flash freeze" the bananas?
Just slice them and place them on a tray and then in the freezer. When they are frozen solid you can place them in a freezer bag and just pull them out as you need them.
What a great idea! I usually just peel them and chunk them into about 3 pieces but slicing them would work great for quick snacks, too! I love frozen fruit - grapes are another that are wonderfully refreshing when eaten frozen!
Mmmm. We love bananas here. We've done this before too. Dip them in chocolate and freeze on wax paper for a yummy desert :) Though, you may not want to get your kids into that if they are so happy with them plain!
Mom used to make frozen banana a lot when we were growing up. She usually cut them in half and stuck a popsicle stick in the end before putting them in the freezer.
Do they turn brown in the freezer or when you thaw them? Could you put them in baggies without them sticking together afterwards?
