Tips for Choosing and Storing Bananas
Color: First, decide when you’ll be using your bananas. For bananas you’ll be eating right away, Choose bright yellow fruit with little to no green around the ends. Some light brown speckling is okay.
If you won’t be using your bananas for a few days, look for fruit with more green around the ends. Most bananas will ripen at room temperature in a few days.
Appearance: Look for full, plump bananas with peels, stems, and tips that are fully intact. Avoid bananas that are bruised, split, or have deep, sunken dark spots on the peel.
Storing: Keep unripe bananas at room temperature – storing them next to other fruit such as tomatoes will speed up the ripening process. Ripe bananas can be stored in the fridge–the skin will turn black but the flesh will be good for several more days.

I took this to an afternoon game day and it was a big hit! Very easy to make as well. I actually used a sugar free banana cream pudding and it tasted great as well as being reduced sugar. Served with Nilla wafers and biscoff cookies. Thanks for sharing!
