Banana Cereal

banana cereal, what the hell is that?
well, banana cereal is just another cool way to eat bananas
what do you need for that? well basically just bananas and maybe some vanilla and natural sweetener if you want to
Just blend around 2 bananas with some water, vanilla and the sweetener, and this will be your milk then juts top it with more chopped bananas, you can add berries, chopped apples, granola, raisins or anything you want, i really love making this i think is so fun and tasty

Variation:
banana cereal with caramel milk 
for the caramel milk you will need around 12 dates(i use deglet nour dates but any kind will work ) some vanilla and one banana 
blend first thedates with some water until it gets like a milky texture add banana and vanilla and BAM you have a caramel milk, then chopp whatever you want in it.
