Ahh, fruit leathers. A deliciously wise way to preserve the summer harvest and easily get your five-a-day while traveling. I chew mindfully at their sheer genius. Very fast, very low-maintenance, very tasty.

oh, woops... cherimoyas are highly seasonal and won't be around until November :(. I actually realized that avocados would also probably work, but you might add two or three teaspoons of agave or honey to compensate for the avo's lack of sweetness. much apologies for leading you astray...

...btw: how is seattle; i've always wanted to live in the pacific northwest, and i know there's a fairly strong foundation of raw veganism up there...

The banana does give the truly leathery texture, but if your feeling exotic and have access, a the creaminess of half of a cherimoya would work beautifully. If you're alright with a crispier texture, add some more mango in place of the banana. Hope this helps!
