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.

Great idea. Also consider egg white powder or other types of high quality easily digestible protein powders that will add good food value and calories. If he likes chocolate you can use those chocolate milk mixes (I use the ghiardelli hot chocolate mix) and make an awesome chocolate shake.

Check your grocery store's frozen food section for frozen fruits. These also can be used to make really good high food quality shakes; some people actually eat them out of hand frozen. Make fruit compotes with them and serve over a piece of cake or yogurts-

Good on you for taking care of your dad, best wishes for his good health.
