    I use them to make "ice cream" - freeze them & toss them in the food processor with some nuts & fruit when you want sweets.
    Nice avatar, btw. I was watching re-runs last week when I was sick.

    Edited to add: I recommend peeling before freezing.

    Freeze them, once frozen add to food processor or blender and blend until you reach icecream consistency!! No added milks, sugars...just the banana!!

    That sounds lovely. I'm thinking that would be awesome with walnuts and chocolate chips. :love:

    freeze them- but PEEL them first! Peeling a frozen banana is impossible. I peel, break into chunks, put in a Ziploc and freeze. I use them for smoothies later, or healthy baking. There are tons of recipes out there for healthy pancakes using mashed banana. Banana ice cream sounds good too! Frozen bananas are incredibly useful.

    1. banana oat muffins: http://pinterest.com/pin/185140234653787501/

    2. freeze them for smoothies or "ice cream" treat

    3. I think you can use the peels around plants for fertilizer (but I've not done that, so I can't attest to its effectiveness).

    I mush one up and mix with two eggs and some egg white, some shredded coconut and make pancakes. Top them with warm berries and chopped pecans. Yum.

    ^^^This!

    I was going to suggest the fake ice cream thing, too.

    Freeze them, then put in a blender with a little skim milk, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Makes a great smoothie, or if u make it thick enough it makes great Ice cream :) and Healthy too!

    Sounds good, I got to get a blender one of these days

    Banana Bread! I'll have to try freezing some too, just to see what they are like when I pull them from the freezer. But hands down my favorite thing is banana bread.

    Freeze them and use them for shakes later. That's how I use them up.

    That's what I do! I don't ever throw them out anymore.

    Freeze them, then once they're frozen, peel and slice and put into a smoothie....I literally just got done doing this! :)
