I’m a little late to this party, but on the topic of freezing bananas: if you slice them and lay them flat-ish in the freezer (say, between two pieces of saran wrap) they’ll freeze faster and blend more easily, and once they’re frozen you can toss ‘em in a ziploc bag and they’ll keep for quite a while. I generally keep frozen bananas and strawberries in my freezer for emergency smoothie supplies.

I did this as a fast quick snack and didnt have the banana frozen and put in a full cup of yogurt. I don’t know if the tartness came from my banana because it wasn’t browning yet but I tried to counteract it with putting some splenda in it but it didn’t do much. But it was still pretty good for 4 points! :) A full serving of calcium! :)

I just wanted to add that if you take the frozen bananas and put them in the food processor they easily turn into banana softserve. I’ve done this several times and it is really good. You can add anything to it once its blended. I never thought to put in fat free yogurt or unsweetened cocoa powder. I’ll try that next time.

I froze 2 bananas last night. I wanted to have this for breakfast tomorrow but I am not sure if I will be able to eat it quick enough. If I make it in the morning I would have at least 15 minutes before I would be drinking it. I try to do breakfast at work. The later I can eat each day the better chance I will have to make it to lunch without getting super hungry.

I too make something like this but use unsweetened chocolate almond breeze as it only has 40 calories per cup. I mix it with frozen banana and it is just like a chocolate milkshake. I will have to try it with the yogurt the “tang” would be a nice change.

Haha! Glad you tried it, and I’m proud to have made it into your blog :)

Coleen - That was me. :~) LOL She gave me an idea to freeze, I peeled. This is why I like to share ideas! 2 heads (or in the blog’s case - 100 heads) are better then 1!

Lisa - They are hard to peel frozen which is why I peeled and wrapped in saran. and yes I have had a frozen banana dipped in chocolate… Oh my WORD SO good!!

Uggg, who came up with the idea to peel them first? Now I realize I am an idiot! I have been struggling to peel frozen bananas for ages. Duh!

Thanks for the recipe, sounds amazing!

Hi Roni, I like this idea. Thanks. I quite often freeze bananas for baking etc and just leave the skin on and just toss them in the freezer loose. Saves using a bag because the peel IS the bag. Wonder if you could easily peel them from frozen for this recipe?

On another note has anyone ever had frozen bananas on sticks dipped in chocolate? Like a popsicle. I only dip half in choclate but might still be too much for some.
