healthy snack ideas

<3 I posted a picture on my FB yesterday and a stream of Canadians came out of the woodwork chuckling with glee. Another reminded me of 'Sol,' who I'd forgotten about.

tbh I find it easier to chop the banana into chunks at least before freezing -- it breaks down a little easier in the food processor and doesn't put as much stress on the motor.

i ate one of these motherfuckers today it was p dope

some sort of honeydew varient

half is in the fridge

yeah but you can just break up the whole banana into chunks before throwing it in the blender - that was my point about the banana not freezing solid. plus whole banana = less surface area to brown. xps

honestly unless you have a yonanas you really shouldnt even be talking frozen banana technique

i dunno about banana not freezing solid. i'd put one in peel and all by mistake and it came out as a very hard-to-peel bludgeon. i think it would make a good murder mystery ("detective, the vic was bludgeoned to death, but there's no murder weapon!" the dishwasher just smiled to himself and ate his very mushy and damp banana. "well, I guess we'll never solve this case." "hold on a second," said Encyclopedia Brown. ENCYCLOPEDIA BROWN KNEW WHO THE KILLER WAS. DO YOU?)

that's the peel freezing solid - you gotta peel it first.

cant freeze w/the peel on bro

lol if lex can't even figure out how to use a DVD player I can just imagine him alone in a kitchen with a juicer

yeah hold up on the peel yo

I have never tried to freeze a peeled banana! Just1n3 dropping science on us! I don't know why I knew that coins did not freeze solid but my brain could not connect to a larger banana similarly not freezing solid :P

actually, maybe they do freeze solid if you have a properly working freezer - my freezer is overstocked and a piece of shit.

i heard fully packed freezers are more efficient than empty ones? internet is really no help in solving that mystery.

My freezer is fine and they don't freeze totally solid. Nunez doin' something wrong imo.

yeah phil you need to walk us through your process - something's amiss

Banans on ice wont solve global warmin yo

yo ...nanas?

the first time i did this i didn't peel them - total disaster. i had to thaw them (defeating the whole purpose of freezing) and the peel didn't come off properly.

Yonanas might help bro

Yonanas are the Magic Bullet, then?

My shitty blender doesn't even have a top and it does this just fine. Sure I have to stop it and start it a couple times but I get perfect fro yo consistency banana stuff every time. It's pretty much the easiest thing in the world.

I want to slurp on yonanas

"My shitty blender doesn't even have a top and it does this just fine"

imagining ENBB sitting on a blender/toilet

a never-clog toilet with a rotating blade does feel like a patentable idea...

YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW

YOU GOOBER

the plunger conspiracy may have othre ideas - incidentally too much o yonanas will make yoconstipated

"At last, a practice space opens up for Tetreault. Percussionists warm up on a glockenspiel for 10 minutes in one practice room, then move to the next for the xylophone. As they get ready, the auditioners are battling their nerves. The calmest eat bananas, which are supposedly full of natural beta blockers."

yonanas a cure for yonxiety?

baby carrots n hummus

yogurt with yonanas = yogoyonanas

x-post YES

Also cucumber slices with either hummus or salsa

Cucumber w/salsa

Celery with spicy hummus

I love toasted nori seaweed, especially the spicy variety:

1 calorie per paper thin 1.5" by 3.5" sheet, around 80 or so per jar. Get minerals and sate your salt cravings at once. My local asian supermarket carries these for around $2.75.

all this talk of things that are like ice cream is crazy. ice cream is like ice cream. frozen grapes and bananas are like frozen grapes and bananas. they're not even as good as nice, fresh, unfrozen grapes and bananas.

x-post NO. NO CELERY EVER OR FOR ANY REASON. GROSS.

the pureed banana is actually a lot like soft serve, i too was skeptical, its p surprising

x-post - Dude, you're wrong. If someone gave me the forzen banana stuff and told me it was soft serve I would believe them. It's that similar/good.

ha x-post but ice craem otm. It's really uncanny. If you add stuff to it it's even more amazing.

Or if you want a dip for crudités, use a 2% or non-fat Greek yogurt infused with herbs or spices you like.

Nori is awesome

Yes to greek yogurt + spices.

cucumber/baba

yeah sorry but contenderizer you are wrong about the bananas. i hated bananas before i discovered this method.

once on Teletubbies these english kids put grapes on their ice cream sundae - what the hell? what do they teach these kids?

sliced tomatoes on ezekiel bread with lots of pepper, maybe some pesto or basil, smoked salt

we should all chip in and buy condendo a yonanas

f contenderizer he doesn't even believe! Get me one.

I forgot what this thraed was abotu and was wondring why people were talking about healthy snacks

oh erica i thought yr 'blender' did a perfectly good job
