So many cool ways to use up that food which others would disregard.  Soups and stews are 'go to' solutions  for veggies, and blenders are  your friend. In our house we freeze fruits as they begin to turn. So we always have a freezer of frozen fruits which make excellent smoothies. Since they are frozen they turn milk into milkshakes when blended together . Throw a frozen banana or two in the blender with a scoop of peanut butter, add a touch of honey if you like sweet, and some milk, and it will puree into a delicious shake. The kids in my house never ask for old bananas but always ask for my Peanut Butter and Banana shake.  With this example I do not need to tell you what to do with frozen strawberries, peach, mango, blueberries, apples, etc. Use a bit of juice (your choice) for a non milk frozen smoothie, add a splash of Vodka  for an adult one, use soy or almond milk for lactose challenged. Freeze the leftover and use again in another concoction later.
