intheboonies Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Son went to camp for the week and I have 3 bananas that I need to do something with. Son is the resident banana eater. I'm not a big fan unless they are encased in banana bread or a banana split. Anyone got any bright ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Assuming you're still on your Whole30, make a paleo banana bread and freeze it until after you're done with W30. If you need a recipe, let me know - I've got one in my Paleo Comfort Foods book. EDIT: Another idea: maybe some sliced bananas with sliced strawberries (total fruit no bigger than your fist) drizzled with a bit of coconut cream?

intheboonies Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 I am still on my Whole30. I recently bought that cookbook but hadn't looked thru it yet. Didn't want to tempt myself. That would take care of 2 bananas. What to do with the last one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 For the 1 banana: maybe saute slices or two lengthwise halves in some ghee and top with cinnamon? Could be a nice addition to your breakfast meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamH Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Mash it up with an avocado or almond butter for a treat! Freeze and blend in a blender for 'ice cream'... although we aren't supposed to be making desserts. Freeze and keep to post Whle30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb0426 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Peel, freeze and save for a rainy day when the son comes home and want a treat. Like PamH said, banana "ice cream" is not for whole30, but for day 31? That is up to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLC1968 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 When my bananas are going bad, I peel them, slice them in half and then freeze them on a plate. Once they are frozen, I toss them into a ziplock baggie and leave in the freezer to grab for smoothies (post-Whole30). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheboonies Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 The banana waite sounds good! Maybe with coconut butter on top? I forgot about just freezing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hojo Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 We freeze 3 bananas along with one clementine on a plate for one hour. Then put them all in a blender with 1/2 cup coconut milk and about 8 ice cubes and it makes a great frozen treat!! after whole30 of course but bananas will stay for a month in the freezer.

MrsStick Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Hubby sautes them in butter/ghee with a sprinkle of cinnamon. The taste is great, although he always does it with overripe bananas and the texture is...less than ideal, given that I only like marginally ripe bananas (think still slightly green).

LydiaL Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I second...or third the idea of freezing them as a post W30 treat. When I was a kid, my Mum used to peel and cut bananas in half and freeze them. She'd tell me they were special popsicles for Juvenile Diabetics. I wasn't fooled but still thought they were pretty tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I use some fruit (usually bananas) in breakfast every morning. My normal breakfast is an egg hash, with the banana, leftover veggies from last night's dinner or pre-roasted veggies (sweet potato is ideal in this) with some kale and meat (I've been cycling between chicken strips, beef strips and smoked salmon). Fry it all up in the fry pan, and add a few eggs at the last moment to scrabbled through the veggie and meat mix. The banana adds some carbs which is great in the morning (especially if I have a workout later on) and a little bit of sweetness. Soooo good, especially because its nice and warming and its winter at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensfan Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 We will mash up ripe bananas with almond butter and eat it with lunch... so good. Much better than peanut butter and bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldunn6396 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I mash up one banana with half a sweet potato and sprinkle with cinnamon for breakfast sometimes. An oatmeal if you will? It sounds pretty gross but truly delish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
