So I went to the grocery store and spotted bags of bananas on clearance. In total, the bananas came out to $0.12/lb. that’s awesome but what do I do with them?

I know I need to do something that involves freezing them. They’re ripe but not brown/mushy/gross. I’d say I have 1 more day before they started getting really ripe.

I looked up freezing them on the Reynold’s website, but that article seemed more focused on SEO and promoting their parchment paper and zipper bags.

Do any of you recommend a “best” way to freeze them? Ideally, I’d like to use them on-demand in smoothies and buy some time to find a really good banana recipe like maybe a pudding or pie or something.

You have 3 choices IMO.

  1. You peel and cut them up and freeze them (easy as hell, use whatever you want from glass to plastic, they last many years).

  2. Banana popsicles. I feed my kids these instead of buying frozen treats and they love them. Just buy popsicle sticks, peel them, shove a stick in, and freeze. When you get them out you can add toppings if preferred (eg. chocolate or whipped cream) or just eat them plain. These also last a long long time.

  3. Just make some sweet banana bread. Add chocolate or nuts if you're into that. You can also freeze the banana bread (it tends to get a little soggy if left too long), and you can also make really nice banana bread french toast with it, straight out of the freezer.

I guess option four is just eat a pure Banana diet until you get awful diarrhea. mmmmm.
