Today I’m sharing  16 Inventive Uses For Bananas (Genius!) that will help you use up ripe bananas and even the banana peel!

Sometimes all of our bananas ripen at once and we need some inventive uses for bananas that will avoid having to throw them away.  Because that’s a waste of money and a waste of nutrition that could be doing good in your body.

16 Inventive Uses For Bananas

1) Whiten Your Teeth

Yes bananas help your teeth to whiten. All you need to do is rub the inside of a banana peel on your teeth for 1-2 minutes per day. The results should show within 2 weeks.

2) Make A Banana Face Mask 

“Bananas contain many beneficial vitamins, including manganese, vitamin C, potassium, biotin and copper. Some of these vitamins are proven to be beneficial to skin,” says Dr. Boling.

3) Relieve Insect Bites

4) Heal Bruises, Burns, Sunburn And Cuts

Rub the inside of a banana on any skin abrasion and it will help it to heal much faster.

5) Feed The Birds

I know everyone does it, but did you know that bread isn’t at all good for birds. It makes them sick, just like it makes humans sick due to all the chemicals and processing in most breads.

But bananas are actually good for birds – and they love them too. You can put the whole banana out for the birds as they’ll play and use the banana skins for other purposes too, like building nests.

6) Make A Homemade Fertiliser With Bananas 

Because of the phosphorus and potassium content of bananas, they make a great addition to the soil in your garden.

You can either bury the whole banana or peel in your soil, mix it with your existing compost, or blend up the whole banana including skins and mix it in with your soil for an added nutrient boost.

7) Heal Warts

Rub the inside of a banana peel on a wart every night or you can skick the peel on to your skin overnight using some tape. The potassium can make the wart fade away in 1-2 weeks.

8) Remove Splinters 

Tape the inside of a banana peel on to a splinter overnight. The splinter will work its way naturally to the surface.

9) Ease Headaches

You can alleviate a headache by rubbing the inside of a banana peel on your head, or sitting with the banana peel on your head while you lie down and close your eyes.

10) Improve Your Sleep

Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
