Well, I never thought I'd hear myself say this but I have found a perfect snack choice!!

FROZEN BANANAS!!!!

You may have already tried this, but those of you that havent:

Slice some bananas into a bowl, freeze and ENJOY!!!

My little sister came home and asked my mum for some frozen banana, she had no idea what she was talking about. Once all was explained she tried it and it was delicious.

Its good, because it melts in the mouth, so for those of you that like to enjoy a piece of chocolate and let it melt, this could be the perfect replacement.

If your feeling naughty (and I guess I shouldnt suggest this on here lol) stick a lolly stick into a banana, dip in melted chocolate, cover with sprinkles or nuts, freeze and enjoy!

For those being good...its a lush 100 calorie snack.

Hope this helps some of you :)

    I've been hearing about this a lot lately, on forums and in magazines... I always thought maybe it would end up too hard to chew or something. I'm going to give a shot though, I just bought a bunch of bananas today :)

    What a great idea! Another yummy treat is frozen grapes. They get sweeter in the freezer.

    If you take the frozen banana and mix it up in a food processor you get ice cream!

    I like to freeze bananas anyway and save them for smoothies. Never thought to just eat them frozen. Thanks for the tip.

    Also- I agree ---frozen grapes (especially the red grapes) are so yummy! And do taste sweeter frozen.

    I love them too. I like to dip them in sugar-free chocolate syrup or blend them with a cup of light chocolate soy milk. Very satisfying when you need chocolate. I don't waste as many bananas as I used to--now when they are really ripe I peel them and stash them in the freezer.

    If you're feeling super decadent, drain a can of crushed pineapple really well, spread the fruit in a thin layer and freeze that as well, then put it and frozen banana slices in the food processor (with a tiny bit of pineapple juice) to get a really great frozen dessert. My kids are nutty about this (and I feel pretty good about making it for them.)
