I would assume that if you did it before freezing/chilling you wouldn’t get the air bubbles in the mix so it would be hard like ice cream that melts and refreezes instead of light and airy in texture.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Aug 2021, 3:29pmWhat's the reason for freezing the banana?

5) blend
You get a better milkshake than any fast-food place can come up with. If you use just a splash of oat milk and you have a good blender or food processor it's thick like just melting ice-cream.
The bananas are best if they're slightly soft (spots on the peel) when you freeze them.
I tell no lie - it's magnificent.

Tried the banana/oatmilk shake tonight. I think I used a bit too much of the milk, but, yeah, it's decent stuff. Thanks for the recipe!

I particularly like the way I can pretend it's healthy too because it has fruit it in.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 6:35pmTried the banana/oatmilk shake tonight. I think I used a bit too much of the milk, but, yeah, it's decent stuff. Thanks for the recipe!

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I basically agree. Once a banana starts going a bit soft, it loses all appeal. Has to be solid.
