We’ve got a steady stream of bananas going bad at our house. I find their peak deliciousness is within a 24 hour period - beyond that they are smoothie bound, or we put them in freezer. There was a brief period where my wife swore to me she would start making banana bread, but I am still waiting on that day to come.
In the meantime, I’ve devised a great way to use them up for a very satisfying milkshake; as much as I hate that I’ve become a person who makes “healthy desserts,” I cannot deny the monster I’ve become.
After I finished making this I learned that you can just as easily peel and store your bananas in a ziplock before putting them in the freezer, which allows you to skip the super precarious step of peeling them with a pairing knife, as I’ve done here.
Enjoy!
