I bought some bananas yesterday and the damn things are already getting brown spots!

What are some low-carb/low-sodium things I can make with bananas?

    When mine do that I just cut them and freeze them to add to my protein shakes later. They add a creamy coldness to it and since I usually add them to chocolate the discoloration doesn't matter. They still taste just as good!

    YES! I add mine to soy chocolate milk and peanut butter after a good workout! Frozen bananas are great in smoothies!

    cut them in sections, cover in low fat yogurt, roll in cheerios and put a stick in them. Put them on a wax paper tray and pop them in the freezer. These are great treats!

    Make a banana omelet! Whizz together 1 banana, 2 eggs and cinnamon, pour into a pan and fry as you would a pancake. Make sure the top is set before flipping and flip gently as they're quite light and break easily. Top with whatever you like (berries/yoghurt/honey), eat plain or with some raisin bread or so - whatever you fancy :)

    Well for a lower carb recipe of banana pudding (at least, my family's version...which involves layering bananas, low fat nilla wafers and pineapple, and baking it with a milk and egg mixture topped with merengue), put the bananas with pineapple (banana and pineapple is a match made in HEAVEN) on vanilla yogurt. You might even heat the bananas and pineapple together first. And maybe even sprinkle a couple of nilla wafers or graham crackers on top. YUM.

    I make banana ice cream. You just freeze the banana, add a splash of milk and then blend it together in a food processer!
    It doesn't look as appetizing as it tastes. :P

    I also just eat them frozen. They taste much better that way to me personally!

    I personally HATE bananas but I bought a dehydrator some time ago and it is great to make banana chips. I actually don't add anything to them at all, but my husband says they taste good and my dogs love them too lol. I believe you can use your oven to dehydrate as well but it takes longer.
