I like mine NOT rotten. A couple months ago I tried to freeze some as suggested by Alton Brown on Good Eats. Something about smoothies...anyway, apparently I missed/forgot about one and it fell back behind some other stuff. Yesterday I opened my freezer, and it smelled like rotten bananas. So I think to myself, gee, maybe I should look back there and see if I missed a banana. Let me tell you, freezing a banana does not keep it from liquifying and glueing everything together and to the freezer walls. Grossest. Thing. Ever.

I make me a smoothie every morning, and bananas are always in it. I sometimes add blueberries or blackberries, or just some protein powder, too. But at least one banana is a must. Love it!

I HATE banana's but I was recently in Hawaii for a month and they have Apple Bananas there. They are the most DELISCIOUS things ever. I ate 6 in one day!!!!!! Unfortunately we aren't allowed to bring them home so i'm not sure what i'm going to do with my addiction now. They don't have that weird aftertaste that regular bananas have....anyone else tried them?

I eat them by themselves, in smoothies, and on my peanut butter sandwiches. I love banana bread too.

I was gonna say that!!

But I have learned to force down 1/2 a small banana 2-3 times a week. Doc says it is good for me!

I love a piece of banana with tsp of peanut butter before I work out.
