When you buy a bunch of green bananas at the supermarket, the assumption is that they’ll eventually ripen. And they usually do. However, we all know the occasional frustration of a batch of green bananas that simply will not ripen.

So, if you have a bunch of green bananas and you think that you have nothing to do with them, here are some ideas to use them in your kitchen.

Mashed Bananas

One great idea for using green bananas is to boil them, mash them, and add olive oil. This makes a delicious, starchy side dish that’s actually quite similar to mashed potatoes. You’ll be surprised at how good they are.

Banana Chips

You can also slice up green bananas into “chips,” fry them in oil, and dust them with salt in order to make a tasty batch of homemade banana chips. This is a common treat in lots of places, including Latin America.

Add Banana to a Veggie-Based Smoothie

If you’re going to have a “green” or veggie-based smoothie, don’t be afraid to add green banana for a touch of sweetness! The flavor won’t overwhelm the smoothie, but it’s a healthier alternative to adding more sugary flavoring ingredients.

Morning Glory Power Smoothie

This delicious smoothie is packed with health-giving powers, as well as packing a hefty dose of yummy flavor. It combines carrots and turmeric, which give it the bright orange color, and hemp seeds for protein.

Then cinnamon, maca powder, and vanilla extract give it an extraordinarily tasty flavor.

Tahini Espresso Smoothie Bowl

You wouldn’t normally combine tahini and espresso, but this works seriously well. This recipe adds in bananas, almond milk, maple syrup, and cocoa powder to create a delicious, power-packed smoothie. Add toasted hazelnuts for that extra wow factor.

Super Berry Bowl

Blend blueberries, bananas, avocado, and spinach by the handful, and half a cup of antioxidant-infused Bai Brasilia Blueberry. Very healthy indeed.
