For an even better treat, roll them in crushed nuts and mini chocolate chips before you freeze them. It makes a great treat!

If you take that frozen banana, and use an immersion blender, you can make it into faux soft serve!
I like to add a frozen banana or two along with other frozen fruit when making a smoothie!! mmmmm!!

Yes, these freeze quite well.
If you ever wonder "Can this be frozen?" then go to your favorite
grocery store and look through their freezer section. You'd be surprised at just what you CAN freeze.
I don't like milk, only use it for oatmeal at breakfast, but it's far cheaper to buy it in gallons and throw away what goes bad. But I'm also far too cheap to toss anything that might be good, so I simply freeze it in quart jars, about 3/4 full with loose lids till frozen, then tightened. Before freezing I label them. Now a gallon of milk lasts me weeks and weeks past the "sell date".
Before I pour it into the freezer jars, I add just a touch of vanilla extract. This seems to add to the taste and is not strong enough to be noticed easily.

In making "milk shakes", I always use ice cubes, bananas and milk. Then whatever else I use is simply for flavor, the first 3 ingredients make it thick and creamy.

I mash my bananas and measure it into individual ziploc bags and throw them into the freezer. That way, I can freeze the amount necessary to make one recipe at a time OR take out as many bags of frozen mashed bananas as I need for multiple amounts of bread.
