So here's a few questions for you...

What do I do with these ripe banana's that have minutes left in their lives?

I'm going hiking and need nutrition...what do I make?

I'm hungry, so now what?

The answer?

You know what the best part is?  The only ingredients are banana's, almonds, berries, oats, and cinnamon.  Pure Perfection.

You could make them even better by adding unsweetened toasted coconut flakes too!  Oh the possibilities are endless!
