Notes: I made this before hopping on a plane to NYC!! It was SO GOOD! The crunchy bananas added a whole new element that I think is fantastic, and the flax is just always good for you. You can add these bananas to anything, dessert, ice cream, whatever. They are killer, so you gotta try it. It gets that sugar need out of your system right away in the morning.
