In the summertime, bananas ripen a little bit faster than in the winter.  As temperatures rise and humidity climbs, Natasha Lycia Ora Bannan finds her ‘over ripened banana’ bowl overflowing!  To keep up, cool down and eliminate food waste, the Amateur Baker is whipping up banana based treats that are tastiest when served cold.  Readers of her blog have likely already tried Bannan’s vanilla nice cream and smoothie recipes.  (And if you haven’t yet: what are you waiting for??  There’s no better way to beat the heat than to enjoy these chilly, creamy treats from Natasha’s kitchen!)
