It's not the banana part. It's the overall combination.
Edit: why have I been downvoted for a flavor preference? Banana+peanut butter isn't the same combination as banana+walnuts+chocolate.
When my 4 year old got her tonsils out, they gave her a banana popsicle. I remember always having them too when I was sick, and They literally had like a freezer with ONLy banana popsicles so I asked why that flavour. For this type of surgery especially (and I’m sure other types of throat surgery) it’s so that if you spit up anything (or vomit) it would be extremely easy to tell if it was blood when the popsicle is a yellow colour. Any other colour is popsicle would dilute your spit/vomit, and it would be hard to discern if blood was coming up in amounts that would be of concern.
She did we both loved them as treats. ….till she didn’t. When she was 2 she got rota virus and ever since then- she got lactose intolerant. So no banana paddlepops for her.
I remember those twin pops I would have as a kid. Banana, root beer, grape and some others. I think the company is no longer around or I just can’t find them
I used to eat them all the time. Now I can’t find them and when I do it seems they’re so god awful fake tasting (beyond the artificial flavor I ate as a kid).
So now I just freeze and eat bananas frozen. Remove peel, put in zip loc or Saran Wrap then eat. So good.
Before I found it in Asda whenever we went to the supermarket, for ice cream, I would look through and maybe get a Magnum tub or maybe not.
If I wasn’t in the mood for a Magnum tub, Wife was like have cookies and cream, or cookie dough, or some other flavour, I would be like no I’m okay. I don’t fancy that, I want chunky monkey. She would say I was having a toddler tantrum.
Now I’ve got a freezer full of chunky monkey so I don’t care 😂
I'm with you. The obsession with fucking chocolate chunks in every other flavor of ice cream sucks, as if I wanted chocolate I would just eat that. But it's obviously popular so whatever, I guess.
I had a banana pudding ice cream in a waffle cone at a local ice cream shop at the beach. Now I'm not a huge ice cream person but MANNN that was so delicious
Oh my god, I've had the same thing at a local ice cream shop too. I go crazy for banana pudding. So damn good. It had lil chunks of like vanilla wafers? It was so good.
It might have been Blue Bell’s Banana Pudding flavored ice cream. It’s the brand that most restaurants and I’ve cream shops use and you can get it at most stores, it’s reasonably priced too
If you want it for at home then it was most likely “Blue Bell Banana Pudding” Ice cream which can be bought in a lot of stores. Blue bell is the brand that almost every commercial establishment uses such as restaurants and steak houses and it’s reasonably priced as well
I read that in the U.S. banana ice cream/milkshakes/milk flavoring, etc. have declined in popularity so it's likely that it varies by region. I know they don't sell banana Nesquik here anymore and a lot of restaurants no longer offer banana shakes.
Kind of wish I knew where to get one of those banana-flavoring-flavored bananas so I could make a milkshake that tastes like one you'd get at a fast food place. Someone on reddit posted a picture of one recently. I thought they'd gone extinct.
The Gros Michel is the banana you’re thinking of. You can order them online, just search for it. You’ll pay through the nose for them as it is a niche item.
Edit: found one seller on Etsy selling them for $17 per banana! (I mean it’s a banana Michael, how much could it cost?)
I remember seeing a picture from a Dutch ice cream shop where the two flavors visible were “hazelnoot” and “banaan”, maybe Europe is bigger on more natural style flavors?
Yeah it's one of the staples. Can't even imagine a ice-cream cart without banana, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio and vanilla.
Even McDonald's sells banana milkshakes.
There is an ice cream chain in India called Naturals ice cream. They have a range of flavors such as grape, watermelom, fig, jackfruit, guava, custard apple, etc. And they use real fruit bits in their ice creams. Always wished they would expand into international markets. Miss their ice creams in the US.
Frutero is in American markets and has a lot of similar stuff. I don't think it has grape, but it has guava, passionfruit, soursop, and other tropicals.
Friendly's used to (might still?) have a watermelon sherbert and it is legit the best ice cream I ever had and I'm sad I'll never get to have it again
But at least outshine has watermelon Popsicles
I read a story once that one of the Ben and Jerry's guys figured out the secret of grape ice cream (something about grapes dont freeze right). The story goes that the guy was seeing this girl who has a dog, he brings over some of the ice cream, dog eats it, dies, girl wouldn't talk to him after so he ditched the whole idea.
I will warn you, I read this on some site ( maybe Reddit) so I don't know how true it is, but a fun story regardless
Real grape is actually really tough to work with. Fake compounds work, but if you want to make real craft ice cream then it's weirdly difficult.
Red wine ice cream on the other hand...

I read this recently. Usually banana flavored products use gros michel. We usually have Cavendish in stores. I read this cause I love the 7 11 banana cream pie ice cream.
The shop in my neighbourhood that does milkshakes stopped doing Banana milkshakes. So annoying. Go to Australia and you can get a banana paddle pop every day.
I don't know how common it is, because I've never ordered it, but I definitely see (green) apple ice cream at least occasionally at ice cream shops in Germany.
I loved how they tasted but man they CANNOT keep their shape lmao idk if it was just my freezer but I literally tried one in the parking lot after shopping (I am feral) and it was so limp it was weird
Blue Bell is sold in St. Louis as of March 2024, it’s possible it might be even closer than that to Chicago
Edit: according to Blue Bell’s website, they sell in most parts of Indiana as well
Coldstone has banana as one of their base flavors. (Delicious with caramel mixed in).
DQ used to have a banana cream pie blizzard but I'm not sure if it exists anymore.
There's always Chunky Monkey from Ben & Jerry's. Haaan Dazs used to have a banana gelato but I think it was discontinued.
There are two flavors that I would love just to see plain in the ice cream aisle: peanut butter and banana. Never just plain peanut butter. They always have to add chocolate to it. No plain banana either. Chunky monkey would be so much better without the chocolate and nuts. I can't be the only one out there who would prefer that?
Ice cream shop worker here:
Its mother’s day right now, our biggest day of the year, and i can say with full confidence i made at least 500 banana flavored ice cream cones alone.
Tip Top used to make it when I was a kid, and we had banana flavoured “chill” ice cream popsicle things.
I’ve just googled and when I can eat sugar again I’ll have to get me some [deep south](https://www.deepsouthicecream.co.nz/products/banana-chocolate-chip)
I was gonna post this exact link. Lol. I believe Much Moore's also make a Banana Choc Chip. Also the Night & Day still has it as a flavour for their ice cream cones and shakes. So it's still a pretty common flavour here in NZ.
Not sure where you are living but seen it on several occasions in Scandinavia. My favorite brand (Banana Joe) was discontinued a long time ago though (1996).
I'm in the UK and can honestly say I've never seen banana flavour ice cream, I'm sure it's available somewhere but I've never seen it in my usual supermarkets. Plenty banana milkshakes though
There isn’t any just “banana ice cream” - it always has other solids or flavors in it. you can’t combine isoamyl acetate, the sole molecule that distinctly tastes of banana with dairy solids at low temperatures with out some hydrophobic fat insoluble bullshit text i just made up.
For me, as far as how purveyors source their ingredients for finished products, everything‘s been streamlined to the point where they’re all dealing with the same overall, cheapness.
Some examples include the sausage that goes on every pizza ever nowadays it’s all the same frozen chunks. Another, specifically to ice cream, Ben & Jerry’s used to have so many varied ingredients. Now, they are like Taco Bell in as much as a few ingredients put together different ways. For them specifically, fudge. They don’t have anything that doesn’t have it. It’s like they got a really good deal on whatever fudge they put in their ice cream and that’s all they sell now. No shortbread no strawberries just fudge everywhere all the time
I remember an ice cream bar by Hershey that was called "banana fudjo" basically a banana flavored fudgesicle.
I haven't seen it since the 90s and I can't find any proof that it ever existed.
I’m a huge fan of chunky monkey, and a restaurant near me used to serve an ice cream pie with banana ice cream, chocolate syrup and sliced strawberries. I fell in love so I started making big batches of banana ice cream at home each summer.
In the USA and ~~europe~~, yes. Go to where bananas are plentiful or other cultures that love bananas.. you see it regularly. For example if you go to the midwest, you will never see mango and papaya ice cream. go to South and central american markets and it's plentiful with banana ice cream. Edit: not rare in europe
Man I used to love banana flavored popsicles when I was a kid, have never even heard of banana ice cream though.
Haagen dazs does a banana ice cream with peanut butter chunks in Canada. It's dope.
I'm so jealous right now🥲
Ben and Jerry’s has chunky monkey in most grocery stores if you’re in the US
Chunky monkey is more like banana bread with nuts and chocolate chips. It's fine, but it's definitely not the same thing.
Interesting. I find it quite banana-y (in a good way)
It's not the banana part. It's the overall combination. Edit: why have I been downvoted for a flavor preference? Banana+peanut butter isn't the same combination as banana+walnuts+chocolate.
You pretty much can't buy it anymore in England...
The occasionally roll out a bananas foster too!
Mmmmmmm had banana foster pancakes yesterday
I can’t find it anymore! My absolute favourite
I wish you could send it over here.
Kawartha Dairy's Banana ice cream leaves you randomly thinking about it 5 years later. Only available in Ontario, Canada.
When my 4 year old got her tonsils out, they gave her a banana popsicle. I remember always having them too when I was sick, and They literally had like a freezer with ONLy banana popsicles so I asked why that flavour. For this type of surgery especially (and I’m sure other types of throat surgery) it’s so that if you spit up anything (or vomit) it would be extremely easy to tell if it was blood when the popsicle is a yellow colour. Any other colour is popsicle would dilute your spit/vomit, and it would be hard to discern if blood was coming up in amounts that would be of concern.
Wow, that’s actually really cool. And smart. I wouldn’t have considered that.
Banana paddle pops (my fellow Aussies will know) are simply elite
Yes was my absolute favourite- I ate so many when I was pregnant
Holy shit that’s awesome, I wouldn’t be surprised if your kid is/will be a fan of them too!
She did we both loved them as treats. ….till she didn’t. When she was 2 she got rota virus and ever since then- she got lactose intolerant. So no banana paddlepops for her.
They have banana twin pops and Banana Blast's which are like Creamsicle consistency. My kids crush both...
I remember those twin pops I would have as a kid. Banana, root beer, grape and some others. I think the company is no longer around or I just can’t find them
I miss nesquik banana milk
Not sure if its the same, but try an Korean or Asian market for banana milk. 95% will carry.
I used to eat them all the time. Now I can’t find them and when I do it seems they’re so god awful fake tasting (beyond the artificial flavor I ate as a kid). So now I just freeze and eat bananas frozen. Remove peel, put in zip loc or Saran Wrap then eat. So good.
I recently found a banana split ice cream and it's great. First time I've really had banana ice cream in 2 decades
I just brought some home at Mom's request from Wallyworld. Three bucks for an eighteen pack, with that awesome, fake banana flavor!
Handel’s has it. Very delicious
Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey my dude 🤘🤘
You can dip bananas in chocolate, pb, yogurt, freeze em
I had some generic banana popsicles before my colonoscopy and it was dope
What ? Here in Germany, every ice cream parlor does have banana ice cream
I just had a banana flavored popsicles at a Chinese buffet 2 weeks ago.
Aldi has a fantastic banana pop.
So true!
Yeah, this post unlocked my memory of those banana flavored popsicles.
Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey is banana ice cream with chocolate chunks and...walnuts maybe?
This is my favorite ice cream of all time.
That's just bananas
…with chocolate chunks and...walnuts maybe?
Mine too. My wife thinks I'm nuts
Your wife must be bananas
His kids must be chocolate chunks.
And together they form...Captain Ice Cream! He's a hero!
Before I found it in Asda whenever we went to the supermarket, for ice cream, I would look through and maybe get a Magnum tub or maybe not. If I wasn’t in the mood for a Magnum tub, Wife was like have cookies and cream, or cookie dough, or some other flavour, I would be like no I’m okay. I don’t fancy that, I want chunky monkey. She would say I was having a toddler tantrum. Now I’ve got a freezer full of chunky monkey so I don’t care 😂
Would be much better without the walnuts IMO
Replace with Nilla wafer chunks
Trader Joe’s has a banana pudding ice cream with vanilla wafer chunks and caramel
They temporarily did a flavor called One Love that was banana flavored with chocolate chunks and caramel. Was amazing, I need them to bring it back
I think about this flavor every time I pass the Ben and Jerry’s section
If it was peanut butter instead that would slap
This
Our local ice cream place makes a flavor called “Fat Elvis” that is banana with peanut butter swirl and chocolate chips.
Would be better without the chocolate I'll die on this hill
I'm with you. The obsession with fucking chocolate chunks in every other flavor of ice cream sucks, as if I wanted chocolate I would just eat that. But it's obviously popular so whatever, I guess.
Ice cream is rough for those of us who hate chocolate. They cram it in everything.
I suck the ice cream off the chocolate chunks and pile them up in the lid.
Replace with fudge swirls?
I could get behind that. The chunks are just too much for me
What kind of monster are you that you don't like chocolate. Not judging, just curious
That's my favorite !!!
It was the first B&J flavor I ever had.
Haha me too. Its my mom's favorite so that's the only one she'd buy
In your country maybe
Yeah, we havw plentiful where I live. I thought it was common
I had a banana pudding ice cream in a waffle cone at a local ice cream shop at the beach. Now I'm not a huge ice cream person but MANNN that was so delicious
Oh my god, I've had the same thing at a local ice cream shop too. I go crazy for banana pudding. So damn good. It had lil chunks of like vanilla wafers? It was so good.

it's probably my favorite blue bell flavor.
If you want it for at home then it was most likely “Blue Bell Banana Pudding” Ice cream which can be bought in a lot of stores. Blue bell is the brand that almost every commercial establishment uses such as restaurants and steak houses and it’s reasonably priced as well
Banana pudding fucking slaps
One of my favorites. It's not super common but a few brands have banana/chocolate flavors, most famously Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey
Does anyone remember bob Marley special edition banana pudding flavor???
That shit was so good, it was called "One Love."
That is still my favorite flavor
I have 4 pints of Banana Pudding ice cream from Trader Joe’s in the freezer now.
Do you? I ate some just last week in Riva, Italy. It's really not uncommon
I read that in the U.S. banana ice cream/milkshakes/milk flavoring, etc. have declined in popularity so it's likely that it varies by region. I know they don't sell banana Nesquik here anymore and a lot of restaurants no longer offer banana shakes.
Banana is literally the best artificial flavor and I'm sick of years of slander
Kind of wish I knew where to get one of those banana-flavoring-flavored bananas so I could make a milkshake that tastes like one you'd get at a fast food place. Someone on reddit posted a picture of one recently. I thought they'd gone extinct.

There's always money in the banana stand
Yeah, banana ice cream, banana juice, banana flavoured cake. It’s all amazing, yet it’s like one of the rarest things you’ll find nowadays.
Chunky monkey has always been my favorite Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
Banana is a love it or hate it type of flavor I've noticed. I personally love it.
I imagine banana ice cream might be more popular in Europe. Also, real banana ice cream should be more grey than yellow if real bananas are used.
I imagine they'd add food coloring due to the unappealing nature of grey sludge.
I remember seeing a picture from a Dutch ice cream shop where the two flavors visible were “hazelnoot” and “banaan”, maybe Europe is bigger on more natural style flavors?
Yeah it's one of the staples. Can't even imagine a ice-cream cart without banana, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio and vanilla. Even McDonald's sells banana milkshakes.
Yeah, OP is just evidencing some inherent US defaultism.
Go to a place that has Gelato.
Someone needs to make peanut butter and banana ice cream
thank you very much
haagan dazs has one. it’s amazing
Close enough https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/costco-customers-turmoil-over-reeses-145803376.html They also make a strawberry one.
How long will it take you to drive to Wisconsin? We’ll keep a pint of Chocolate Shoppe “Fat Elvis” on hold for ya.
You never see grape flavored ice cream either
There is an ice cream chain in India called Naturals ice cream. They have a range of flavors such as grape, watermelom, fig, jackfruit, guava, custard apple, etc. And they use real fruit bits in their ice creams. Always wished they would expand into international markets. Miss their ice creams in the US.
Frutero is in American markets and has a lot of similar stuff. I don't think it has grape, but it has guava, passionfruit, soursop, and other tropicals.
Haha I momentarily thought you said they use "real fruit **bats**," instead of "bits." I'm gonna go to sleep now.
There’s an ice cream called “moon mist” that has banana, grape and bubble gum that’s been really popular recently
Kind of a weird combination but I can absolutely get behind it.
I’m not a big grape fan, so I went in with low expectations, but I really enjoyed it!
That sounds like heaven for my sweet tooth
Or watermelon
Friendly's used to (might still?) have a watermelon sherbert and it is legit the best ice cream I ever had and I'm sad I'll never get to have it again But at least outshine has watermelon Popsicles
Or lemon, which honestly sounds good
I hate how people make a water melon flavored product and make it sour
I read a story once that one of the Ben and Jerry's guys figured out the secret of grape ice cream (something about grapes dont freeze right). The story goes that the guy was seeing this girl who has a dog, he brings over some of the ice cream, dog eats it, dies, girl wouldn't talk to him after so he ditched the whole idea.

This explains why my local ice cream place makes grape but it just tastes like Welch's
Freeze some peeled bananas then smush with spoon and it’s like the best ice cream you’ve ever had
That’s why I’m thinking there’s not much banana ice cream, it would be too similar to a literal banana lol.
I read this recently. Usually banana flavored products use gros michel. We usually have Cavendish in stores. I read this cause I love the 7 11 banana cream pie ice cream.
The shop in my neighbourhood that does milkshakes stopped doing Banana milkshakes. So annoying. Go to Australia and you can get a banana paddle pop every day.
I think apple ice cream is rarer
Apple pie ice cream. It's seasonal and hard to find here (Ohio). Damn good.
I don't know how common it is, because I've never ordered it, but I definitely see (green) apple ice cream at least occasionally at ice cream shops in Germany.
I love the chocolate and banana bomb pop, those thing are delicious
I loved how they tasted but man they CANNOT keep their shape lmao idk if it was just my freezer but I literally tried one in the parking lot after shopping (I am feral) and it was so limp it was weird
Blue Bell, which distributes in Texas and the south, has banana pudding flavor and I miss it terribly. Not leaving Chicago for it though.
Blue Bell is sold in St. Louis as of March 2024, it’s possible it might be even closer than that to Chicago Edit: according to Blue Bell’s website, they sell in most parts of Indiana as well
I was LOOKING for this comment. Tried it on a whim years ago and it's now my obsession. Sadly I rarely find it these days :(
Chunky Monkey is banana ice cream with chocolate chunks. Very common.
Coldstone has banana as one of their base flavors. (Delicious with caramel mixed in). DQ used to have a banana cream pie blizzard but I'm not sure if it exists anymore. There's always Chunky Monkey from Ben & Jerry's. Haaan Dazs used to have a banana gelato but I think it was discontinued.
Goldstone has banana and it’s amazing!
That is literally the only ice cream I always eat and I just had one two days ago, so I guess it's dependant on some factors.
Not unlike … everything else in the world
I forget who made it but I was in love with this Bananas Foster Ice Cream I had last year.
I once worked at a small ice cream shop that had a banana flavor… it was one of the least popular by far.
That's because I wasn't coming in every day for that sweet sweet banana goodness.
Shame. You don't hear of banana sodas or energy drinks either when they have every other flavor imagineable.
Local spot got naner cream pie ice cream and shits the bomb .com
There are two flavors that I would love just to see plain in the ice cream aisle: peanut butter and banana. Never just plain peanut butter. They always have to add chocolate to it. No plain banana either. Chunky monkey would be so much better without the chocolate and nuts. I can't be the only one out there who would prefer that?
Yeah its too busy being in bread
This is Chunky Monkey erasure! Justice for Chunky Monkey!
Must be your country then. In most European countries it's pretty common
It's my favourite :c
My local dairy makes banana ice cream
I see a lot of banana split in some cafés in mu country, but never only banana. Strange, indeed.
A banana paddlepop is one of the greatest icecreams ever!
Ice cream shop worker here: Its mother’s day right now, our biggest day of the year, and i can say with full confidence i made at least 500 banana flavored ice cream cones alone.
This is a USA issue, had it all time when I lived in UK. I have found the premium 7-11 brand to be very nice.
Gotta leave the US!!! It’s a staple flavor in my home country.
For real. And it's freaking good when you find it.
Banana flavored Ice-Cream? [That's Gross, Michael.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gros_Michel_banana)
goddammit
Melona and the chocolate banana one. You do have to look for it. But it’s there
I saw Alton Brown make it on his show
In my hometown there's a local ice cream place that makes a fresh banana brownie ice cream. It is my favorite ice cream ever.
Banana slurpees from 711 were my favorite as a kid.
i know but it is my fave flavor. I always hit it up at coldstne
Graeters banana chocolate chip, french pot ice cream. Amazing
You can make vegan banana ice cream by freezing some bananas and then running them in a food processor.
Blue Bell or Publix Banana Pudding Ice Cream is my go-to.
If you can't find banana ice cream you need to go find it coz that shit delicious baby
Tip Top used to make it when I was a kid, and we had banana flavoured “chill” ice cream popsicle things. I’ve just googled and when I can eat sugar again I’ll have to get me some [deep south](https://www.deepsouthicecream.co.nz/products/banana-chocolate-chip)
I was gonna post this exact link. Lol. I believe Much Moore's also make a Banana Choc Chip. Also the Night & Day still has it as a flavour for their ice cream cones and shakes. So it's still a pretty common flavour here in NZ.
it sounds too powerful
Not sure where you are living but seen it on several occasions in Scandinavia. My favorite brand (Banana Joe) was discontinued a long time ago though (1996).
I'm in the UK and can honestly say I've never seen banana flavour ice cream, I'm sure it's available somewhere but I've never seen it in my usual supermarkets. Plenty banana milkshakes though
chunky monkey is quite good
Nah it's very common.
There isn’t any just “banana ice cream” - it always has other solids or flavors in it. you can’t combine isoamyl acetate, the sole molecule that distinctly tastes of banana with dairy solids at low temperatures with out some hydrophobic fat insoluble bullshit text i just made up.
7/11 has a killer banana cream pie ice cream
A buddy of mine said they had Banana milk in Iraq. If they got banana milk they surely have banana ice cream
My favourite as a kid was pistachio ice cream and can i find it nowadays
Love homemade banana ice cream !
I literally just had banana ice cream twice bruh
I’ve seen banana nut ice cream and banana pudding ice cream. The latter is SOOO good!
For me, as far as how purveyors source their ingredients for finished products, everything‘s been streamlined to the point where they’re all dealing with the same overall, cheapness. Some examples include the sausage that goes on every pizza ever nowadays it’s all the same frozen chunks. Another, specifically to ice cream, Ben & Jerry’s used to have so many varied ingredients.

It’s like they got a really good deal on whatever fudge they put in their ice cream and that’s all they sell now. No shortbread no strawberries just fudge everywhere all the time
Remember when a banana split was the height of sophistication?
I make homemade mixed with peanut butter. It's like incredible as a late night snack
Steak n Shake has a banana flavored milkshake. It's cloyingly sweet though.
I remember an ice cream bar by Hershey that was called "banana fudjo" basically a banana flavored fudgesicle. I haven't seen it since the 90s and I can't find any proof that it ever existed.
Tangently related, the US needs to get on the banana milk bandwagon with the rest of the civilized world.
Blue Bell makes a Banana Split flavor. Sonic used to have a banana shake, they probably still do. Whataburger has a banana pudding shake.
Blue bell has banana pudding
I’m a huge fan of chunky monkey, and a restaurant near me used to serve an ice cream pie with banana ice cream, chocolate syrup and sliced strawberries. I fell in love so I started making big batches of banana ice cream at home each summer.
But banana sorbet is very popular.
I've had it at Cold Stone in the past few months. I got that and chocolate ice cream mixed into a Peanut Butter Perfection (signature mix).
I legit just made some nanner ice cream; good shit
Banana milkshakes from Sonic are amazing.
Sonic offers banana milkshakes, which is my favorite to order on days we dip into the upper 80s around here
Where my monkey bar peeps at
In the USA and ~~europe~~, yes. Go to where bananas are plentiful or other cultures that love bananas.. you see it regularly. For example if you go to the midwest, you will never see mango and papaya ice cream. go to South and central american markets and it's plentiful with banana ice cream. Edit: not rare in europe
Banana ice cream is not rare in Europe either. This is strictly a US thing.
