- Bananas — You’ll need 3 medium-sized ripe bananas

What bananas are best for banana bites?
I recommend using ripe bananas that have a few or several brown spots. However, they should be firm and not “soggy”.
Storage Tips
Keep frozen banana bites in a freezer-safe container or bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. It may help to let them sit at room temperature for a minute or so before consuming.
Did you know it’s easy to freeze bananas? We keep frozen bananas in the freezer at all times, especially for making our green smoothies.
Marly’s Tips
When you come to the curve in the banana, cut and discard (or eat) an angled sliver to keep the banana slices even. These even slices will create symmetrical treats that look stunning and taste delicious!

My husband (and the rest of us, too) would be OBSESSED with these. YUM!
What a delicious and creative idea! I would never have thought of this recipe and you make it look so delicious.
Ah, thank you so much! I love having those in the freezer on hot summer days!
Hello summer! I would totally eat them all…haha.
Me too…and, in fact, I do!
Hi there, can you please tell me how long you can store these and the strawberry ones for? thanks
As long as you keep them in the freezer they can remain stored for quite awhile. I would say at least a month, possibly two. The thing is, they’re so good to eat…you probably won’t need to!
great idea, will try to make it. thanks for sharing!
would the recipe still turn out as delicous as they look if one used 2% instead of soy milk?
Hi Madalyn – I’ve been vegan for nearly 5 years now so the flavor of cow’s milk tastes sour to me. If you don’t want to use soy milk, there are also great almond milk or coconut milk products you can use. In fact, you don’t have to use any milk at all for this recipe. I hope this helps!
what a great idea. We’ve been incorporating more flax in our diet and this is perfect.
I found you on Finding Vegan, and my bites are in the freezer right now. I love this recipe because sometimes I just NEED something sweet and frozen and these are PERFCT, just what i was looking for so thank you!
PS – the peanut butter is *genius* .. you could even try other nut butters. I’m thinking … macadamia??
I’m with the other comments … we make banana smoothies / ice cream a lot … but never these little goodies! What a great after-dinner treat 🙂
Yum! I love banana flavored icecream and can’t wait to try these,
I like frozen bananas just the way they are. This seem like gilding the lily to me.
Oh, Anna, you are SO right. I have gilded my share of lilies in my lifetime, but I just can’t seem to stop myself! I think I’ll start a support group. We could call it the Gilded Lily Society. The problem would be, of course, that we would all get together and think of new ways to gild. For example, those banana bites sure would look nice with sprinkles! See? There’s no hope for me!
Too cute! I have to make these!
I’ve heard of making banana ice cream with just bananas but this looks better. 🙂
I’ve made banana ice cream too (with just bananas) and that was good, but the flavor was very intense. I like this recipe because it balances the flavor of the frozen banana with the chocolate. How delicious is that!
OMG – Yummeee!!! This look amazing Marly, definitely going to make these on the weekend, Matt and the boys will make these disappear quickly. Thank you
That is a problem with this recipe – it disappears WAY to quickly! Have Matt save you at least one!
Great ideas! My husband LOVES frozen banana slices….ad chocolate and Skittles? I’m in!
The fruity flavor with the Skittles added in gives it a nice touch!
YUM! Can’t wait to try this version. Sounds good!
Marly, these look so fun to eat – what a great treat for the kids after school!
