Notes

  • This banana elixir recipe is fairly sweet due to the banana, but if you want to make it a little sweeter, I suggest adding some date syrup to the recipe.  Date syrup is a whole food, made up of whole dates, with nothing bad added and nothing good taken away.  All of the fiber is still there, and no nasty fillers have been added.  
  • You can add 1-2 tablespoons of date syrup or other healthy sweetener to suit your taste buds and get even more body balancing nutrients from them.
