#thearlegirlpearls: bananas.


Do you go bananas for bananas like I go bananas for bananas? I love bananas however, I am very fussy about when I eat them; they need to be only just ripe. But something changes when I know I'm going to freeze them; I buy all the black ones I can find. They're overripe and cheap and so good for so many things.

Love ice cream? Want a healthy alternative? Blend a frozen banana (with whatever mix ins you like) and you have the most delicious treat.
Craving banana bread? Always have bananas on hand. So many good recipes around.
Smoothies? Frozen bananas are the best – they add sweetness, thickness, coldness, deliciousness.
Pancakes? Yes, pancakes!!! I love pancakes and my favourite type (because they're so quick and easy) are 2 ingredient pancakes: bananas and eggs. Breakfast sorted... every day!

So go on, freeze some bananas – how could you not!? But don't forget to take their skin off first!
