Bananas ripen very quickly, especially in summer. What do you do with your overripe bananas?

I have a few suggestions in this week's article, Overripe Banana Recipes.

Do you have a favourite banana recipe?

I'm missing a recipe for a banana smoothie. Any suggestions?

Hi Melanie,
YES I am a smoothie freak although the following is not a profound recipe! I like to buy bananas on sale, cut them into thirds (peeled) and freeze. When I want a smoothie, I throw as much as I like in a blender add a handful of blueberries and some milk and whizz -- it is delish! Sometimes I add a scoop of protein powder too but then it's super thick. Banana and chocolate soy milk is good too.
