    I mashed bananas in a Vitamix for banana bread. I sealed the mash in Ziploc bags and stored it in my fridge. Can I still use the mash one week later?

    It's always best to freeze. As long as there's no mold, and the mash smells and tastes okay, you should be fine.

    What could I mix with banana to make it a high protein food for gaining weight?

    The best thing to do would be to mix it with some flavored protein powder and some yogurt.
  • Question
    I cooked it, is that fine?
    Community Answer
    Yes, cooked mashed banana is fine. You can use it in baking as a substitute for oil if you'd like because pureed banana is another low-fat substitute for oil in baked goods. If you're using it for this reason, you'll want to use 3/4 to 1 cup banana puree for every 1 cup of oil in the recipe.

    How do I make the mash runnier?

    Mash the banana more, use overripe bananas and add a little water or apple juice. Riper bananas are softer and the longer they are mashed, the runnier the mash will be.
