This ish is Bananas.....

To say that I'm particular with bananas is a bit of an understatement. In fact, there is a pretty small window of time in which I LOVE bananas, a little bigger window in which I tolerate them and a gaping swath of time in which, unless used in something else, they gross me out. The gaping swath starts when the first spot appears on the banana. Soon thereafter, they're going to start to smell like bananas and their skin gets all papery. Sick. Anytime after the banana is able to be peeled, I'm in. Bring on the green bananas.

That being said, I end up with a lot of bananas that cross the line before I can eat them. The husband loves the spotted bananas because he mashes them up in his oatmeal in the morning. My only use for this stage of banana was either (a) make a small batch of muffins or (b) cut and freeze for use in protein shakes. Turns out, when I'm on path (b) with frozen bananas, there is something else I can make with them. Something magical.

Behold, what becomes of bananas, once gross and spotty, then chopped up, frozen, then blended.
Magical indeed.

It actually tastes like pretty sweet ice cream. Hoo-boy. This ish is bananas.

From the lovely www.thekitchn.com who fills my Reader with more posts than I can generally get through in a day. And yes, we have tried a batch with an added dash of peanut butter. A good decision as well.

Enjoy!
