Banana Flour

Hi! Has anyone tried making their own banana flour? It would be neat to have powdered kale, banana, and pineapple so I could just hand mix a smoothie instead of revving up the blender all the time. It would also be nice not to worry about the bananas going bad all the time.

    How can bananas go bad? You eat them! They disappear so fast when you do that… Hehe… I don’t know, there’s something that bothers me a tiny bit about raw convenience… I guess it feels to me like it should be a little more difficult, everything should be fresh. Dehydrated food should ideally be minimized. That is only my opinion, of course… I just think a lot of the nutrients will be lost in dehydration and storing. Also, it might not taste as good as fresh.
