Wondering how to use overripe bananas? They can transform into this yummy smoothie

Overripe bananas that have blackened skin are often thrown away as most people are reluctant to eat them. However, such bananas are fit for consumption for a few more days.

An easy way to store overripe bananas, which are rich in pottassium and magnesium, is to peel them and cut into small pieces. Store these banana pieces in an air tight container or a zip lock bag. Keep this container in the freezer. The bananas would be fresh for a few more days.
