Going bananas!

Last weekend I went shopping and bought a bunch of bananas since I had a coupon for $1 off of bananas.  End result of this leaves me with a a bunch of bananas now starting to spot.  I didn't want to make banana bread so I went to allrecipes.com for help and found a recipe called Green Slime Smoothie.  Baby poop slime might have been more accurate when I made it but it tasted surprisingly good and gave me 2 servings of fruit and 1 serving of veggies.

 Recipe:
1 banana
3 oz frozen strawberries
1 or more c spinach


Blend

See, it looks like Christmas decorated baby poop!   It was yummy and maybe a bit too much banana, but who uses 1/2 banana in a recipe and what do you do with the other half?
Other recipes made with bananas


1 ingredient ice cream (really yummy and creamy)
Chop bananas into small pieces.  Freeze. Blend.  Its amazingly yummy and creamy but does not refreeze exactly the same so only blend as much as you want to eat.

Banana blend smoothie
1 banana
1 tsp honey
1/2 c of milk
dash or more nutmeg

It was too runny for my taste so I plan to freeze the banana for next time.  I think I still have 6 or so bananas left.

  1. Tried this with blueberries too...works as well. Does not work well without the banana though.
