it was pretty good
with few minor substitutions, omit the flax seed, sub soy yogurt and milk for regular dairy, and raspberries for strawberries, this was a great snack for me. my 1.5yr old had this for dinner and got really well filled up. found this looking for a good way to use brown bananas and loved it! thanks!
