I can't eat bananas, I choaked on one when I was child, and since then I've 

found myself unable to eat them. I have tried...I think they smell good, but 

I just can't eat them. Recipe 1 I've done with strawberries. Maybe if I try 

that with bananas, I just may be able to do it. If that works, I'll try 

recipe 2. Thanks for the ideas :)
