Best Flavors

Banana

Apple Pie (~5 tbsp apple butter per banana)

Pineapple (somewhat stringy texture the second time I tried it)

Peach

Pear

Mango

Kiwi/Strawberry

Grapes

Orange

Cherry (very strong flavor, need to melow out with bananas)

Blackberries (flavor tastes best mixed with bananas, good texture; use 1/2 cup blackberries per 1 frozen banana)

Hachiya Persimmon

 

Banana Variations

1 banana + 1.5-2.67 tbsp nutella + 1 tbsp walnuts (might be good with strawberries and/or granola too)

1 banana + 3-4 tsp cashew butter

1 banana (100g) + 37-47g strawberries

 

Not As Good

Blueberries (not a ton of flavor, fresh blueberries are better)

Cantaloupe (not lots of flavor)

Kiwi (a tad sour)

Strawberry (good flavor but seeds, strong flavor)

Raspberry (texture has seeds, strong flavor)

Apple (not strong flavor, be sure to peel before freezing)

Sweet Potato (good flavor, dense texture)

Corn (not sweet)

Watermelon (icy)

Mint + Banana

Fuyu Persimmon (doesn't blend well)
