Thread: Giraffey bananas HELP??!!

Hi all!

I had a bit of a slow banana week and now have four very ripe (aka. giraffey - you know when they start looking like giraffes??) bananas that want using!

Anyone have any Slimming World recipe solutions? I'm thinking some kind of sexy muffin??

Thanks guys!

I peel mine, stick a lolly stick in one end, wrap with cling film and freeze mine . Then eat them frozen.

A SW Consultant I know does this, but first she makes a paste out of options hot chocolate and spreads it on the clingfilm before wrapping it. Not tried it myself though

Awesome idea! I'm on it. x

A lady made this for tasters one week and it was absolutely gorgeous!

Yep Frozen bananas are lovely - like eating ice cream! Eat em up asap from getting them out of freezer though!
