Awesome recipe! It's the best breakfast that I have so far. But I replaced bananas and honey with 90% chocolate and berries. Since I follow the keto diet, I'm not allowed to consume that many carbohydrates. But, honestly speaking, I tried the original recipe, and it is even tastier than my keto version. Usually, I get the recipes from the app for keto diet, but I also like to experiment. One of my favorites is black & white candies. They are made with unrefined coconut oil whipped with almonds, sweetener, vanilla, and orange peel. I tint part of the mass with cocoa powder and leave the part with vanilla.
