What to do with all of those bananas

I have a great recipe that uses all of those bananas that we got last week.  Just peel and freeze the bananas.  Once frozen, chop up the bananas with a knife, then blend them in a food processor or blender with a spoon full of peanut butter and it makes the most delicious frozen dessert that tastes just like ice cream!  You can also add nutella or chocolate syrup.  It's delicious, trust me!
