Storing Overripe Bananas

Never throw out an overripe banana again!

When you have overripe bananas simply peel, put in a small freezer bag and place in the freezer. I collect three bananas per bag as this is the amount most banana bread recipes require. And you can use them in smoothies, milkshakes or anything else you would use mashed bananas in. 

When you are ready to use them remove the bananas from the bag, put them in a bowl and thaw completely.  They will be a little juicy because of the freezing and thawing process.  Just mash it all together and you’re good to go!
