Step 1

Wash the potato and wrap it in a wet piece of paper towel and place it in the microwave. It usually takes 7-8 minutes, but your goal is to get a soft potato.

Step 2

Cut the banana into little slices and wash your berries. For added flavor, roast the banana in a skillet with coconut butter.

Step 3

Once soft, cut the sweet potato in half and place it in a plate or bowl.
