I love frozen bananas! Unfortunately, I don't eat them too often because of how high in calories they are.

Throw them into your food processor for banana ice cream. It's amazing!

Hmm. They are about 100 calories. And are good for you.
I eat one most mornings.

I made something similar to this last night and am eating the rest of it as I type! It's fantastic.

^^That's how I like them, too. My husband loves the soft serve banana "ice cream." We get the smaller, organic ones. Even with the sugar content it still beats the fat and calories in ice cream!

Funny, before I saw this post I had just read this article about whether or not bananas are good for you or not. Here's the article:

Most people enjoy bananas. They are a fruit, so according to conventional wisdom they should be healthy. They taste sweet, and they are super-quick to eat and easy to bring with you on the road.
However, some people do believe that they are bad for us because of the sugar content.

Banana Nutrition Facts
Bananas have a glycemic index of about 55. Compare that to apples, which have a glycemic index of about 38, and to pineapples who have a GI of 66.
The glycemic index measures how quickly the carbohydrates in the food get digested and turned in to blood sugar. This means that bananas get turned in to sugar pretty fast, but a medium banana contains less than 30 grams of carbs so I don’t see a big problem.
If you’re on a low-carb diet, though, this could be a problem and it might be a better idea to stick to fruits like blueberries.
Macro- and micronutrients
Here I’m going to refer to nutritiondata.com which is a great resource for nutrition facts.
Macronutrients (a medium sized banana):

Carbohydrate: 27 grams (3g are fiber)
Protein: 1g
Fat: none
Calories: About 100
Decent amounts of the following micronutrients:
Vitamin C: 10.3mg (17% of the RDA)
Vitamin B6: 0.4mg (22% of the RDA)
Potassium: 422mg (12% of the RDA)
Manganese: 0.3mg (16% of the RDA)
Magnesium: 31.9mg (8% of RDA)
Bananas are particularly high in potassium and fairly high in magnesium.
They also contain small amounts of other micronutrients, so you could say that they are pretty nutritious.

I think I have probably found a cure for my dinner ice cream addiction - eating frozen bananas. It gets me the fruit intake, and it also makes me feel like I am eating a dessert. I dont care about the sugar in banana as its natural sugar. My worry is only about added sugars. I am not a diabetic and so dont have to worry yet about the carbs.
