    I just do this in my blender..

    Freeze bananas in thin slices (start with them flat on a tray if you have room, so they don't stick) then chuck in a blender with a small amount of milk, water, or cream ( if you're feeling indulgent) and whizz.

    Easy, and no special machinery needed.

    It's supposed to have the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. I haven't tried it yet.

    Even when frozen, bananas are dense in texture, not icey. So, the texture is sort of creamy. I either thaw for a few seconds in the micro or on the counter, but not too much. They should still be mostly frozen, but a little softer on the outside. Put in 1/2 the banana, then add some other semi-frozen fruit, and then the other 1/2 of the banana. I like frozen berries. Stir it together to blend before eating. It really is good.

    The avocado was really good, with the mango and banana! :wink: Tonight I'm going to try banana, blueberries, and chocolate chips! :love:

    Last night, after I made my yonanas with bananas and peaches, I then added a serving of plain, fat-free yogurt to it and stirred it up. I did also add some Splenda because I like it sweeter. You can then also add a cap of vanilla extract. It was an even creamier texture like that; it was good.

    I haven't tried this, but I just thought of another idea. How about just using bananas and then topping it with walnut or pecans, and drizzle maple syrup (made with Splenda, of course).

    I do frozen banana chunks and a splash of skim milk in my food processor, and it's just like soft serve. There's no need to buy a special gadget if you have a food processor. To answer the question, I don't add anything. But I do like a drizzle of chocolate syrup on mine. :smile:
