2. Peel the banana and put in the blender

5. 1/4 cup of purified water. Not too much water. Just enough that it mixes well and has as nice smooth consistency. Feel free to add a bit of water at a time to get the consistency you like.
I like to add some sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds and even use Almond Milk for a base rather than water. That’s the nice part…let your imagination go wild.
You can use any blender you wish…hand, high speed like the Breville or whatever blender you have.
Enjoy
