No-Cook Foods:
Bananas:
Prep: Slice off a piece of ripe banana and peel.
Puree: Mash with a fork. Add a little water to get a smooth texture.
Storage: Best served fresh. Save remaining banana (with the skin on) by covering the cut end with plastic wrap and storing in the refrigerator. Before using again, slice off the cut end, which may be a little brown.
Avocados:
Prep: Slice a ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel off the skin.
Puree: Mash with a fork. Add a little water to get a smooth texture.
