Tired of Hanging Around Waiting to be Eaten

Walked into the kitchen this morning and noticed that the bananas had perhaps gotten a bit too ripe. I've used this banana hook for a long time but have never seen any do this.

It looks that you are not from the tropics!
This is the golden moment of this fruit. When you see dark spots in the banana. It is the sweetest moment to enjoy this fruit.

Ok, lets make a Banana Milk Shake.....

Take two bananas (dark spot type)
2 cups of milk (you can add more milk if you want to thinner)
2 tablespoons of sugar (splenda do it ok)
1 cup of vanilla ice cream
Blend in high speed and.......................................... .......
Enjoy

From Puerto Rico with love

Common misconception: brown bananas have gone bad.
Those bananas are perfectly ripe and will likely be some of the tastiest you have ever eaten.
