A frugal gal would never let an overripe banana go to waste, so what should you do with those poor spotted bananas?
Banana Bread is a great option, but how many loaves of banana bread can you eat?
Rejoice, The Budget Diet girl has a Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Recipe that will make good use of your spotted bananas and it’s good for you too!

Not sure what to do with overripe bananas? This Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie is the answer, and it’s ideal for a healthy breakfast or an after school snack! An immersion blender is ideal for a single serving, and it makes clean up easy!
Ingredients
- 1 frozen, sliced banana
- 1 cup milk (skim, low fat, soy milk…it’s your choice!)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Enjoy!
Notes
I keep a zip top bag full of frozen, sliced bananas in the freezer. It takes about 10 slices to equal 1 banana. Now you know what to do with your overripe bananas!

This sounds really good. I love peanut butter and bananas together, so I am going to try this. You right about the banana bread!
Thank you for sharing this. I will be trying it soon! 
Thanks this sounds delicious. Peanut butter is a no no in our house since my son as a severe allergy but I would do the same thing just skipping the peanut butter, maybe even adding a little coco powder. Thanks, you always have great ways to live better for less!
This sounds wonderful! I never thought about freezing bananas before-don’t know why, I just never did. Thanks!
Blessings,
Marcia
Just to warn you…frozen bananas aren’t pretty, but they taste wonderful in this smoothie!
