A Giant Rant

Well... not a giant one... I would just like to file my complaint.
I am perturbed at my husband because he refuses to eat bananas the second they pass their moment of perfect freshness... The second there is a brown spot on them he will no longer touch them... Therefore, I am left every week trying to eat over ripe bananas so they don't go to waste.
He wont eat them if they are too green... and wont eat them if they are over ripe! So every week there is a 48 hour period that he will eat bananas. Plus he is the one who is always tossing them into the cart at the store.
HUMPF! Rant over...
However, I do love him so very much so I am willing to eat the bananas that have spots. :flowerforyou:

I freeze my bananas once they start getting spotty They make for a delicious healthy frozen smoothie.0

Haha, how silly. This is unfortunate because they taste the best when they are a little brown, they have more banana flavor.0

ooh! Good tip.
Thanks0 -
Hated bananas for most of my life, recently started eating them, showed my nutritionist my food log and what does she say - lay off the bananas, the glycemic index sucks and it rocks your blood sugar level.
Can't win...0 -
You could try to buy a bunch of only three or so bananas?0

i'm sorry, i'm the same as your husband. it's a texture/sweetness/flavor thing.
throw some over ripe ones in smoothie, he won't know the difference then- it's how i get rid of my over ripe ones as my boyfriend won't touch a banana at any point of ripeness lol0 -
I have to say that I am the same way. If it has the slightest brown spot I WILL NOT eat it! I am this way with all fruit. If it is not at perfect ripeness I won't eat it.0

Does he know that bananas are most sweet and delicious once they get a little bit of brown? yum!
I can't eat bananas anymore, I have an intolerance to them for some reason. But I too used to freeze them if I had too many left to eat, I would use them for smoothies or banana bread!0 -
Im the same way!!! I buy them a little green put them in the fridge crisper and they last longer! Once I see a brown spot I make milk shakes out of them for the kids. I wont eat them.0

My guy is the same. I'm not really a banana girl. I'll eat one every now and then, but they aren't a fruit that I feel the need to keep stocked all the time. Once they pass the point where he won't eat them, I've started peeling and freezing them. I'll make banana pudding soon and use up the frozen ones. Or maybe banana bread.0

Have you tried telling him, " if you put them in the cart you are responsible for eating 75% of them". LOL0
-
Actually, they are harder for your stomach to digest pre-spotted!0

I have to admit, I won't eat them once they start to get really ripe either. I prefer them more green. One brown spot, okay... two, probably not. I will slice them up and freeze them when they hit that point or make banana bread to take into work and share. My husband won't eat them at all so it's usually just me eating them and I only buy a couple at a time.
Actually, I freeze berries as they're about to turn, too. Great for smoothies and you don't need as much ice.0 -
You can throw them into the freezer for smoothies if you get sick of eating them straight up.0
-
CREEPY! My fiance is like that too, i try and pawn them off on my son but he won't eat 'em either...and I have NEVER ate them, I can't stand the texture. So I too am left with rotting bananas every damn week. This weekend is a banana bread marathon...feel free to share some recipies :happy:0
-
Bake with them! Nothing is a better egg replacement for baking than a nice, over-ripe, mushed-up banana!0
-
No more banana's for him!0
-
Over-ripe bananas are perfect for making banana bread.0
-
You can freeze them, they are sooooo yummy.
Over ripe ones are great for banana muffins, or
banana bread.0
