Note: Keep a stash of bananas in the freezer so you can have soft-serve in a flash. The easiest way to freeze and store bananas is to peel them and slice them into 1-inch pieces. Then place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze them for 2 hours, and transfer them to an airtight container and store in the freezer until needed.
