Hi! I have two questions for you...I really want to like this recipe, it really has that thick oatmeal consistency and I love that it's Whole30, but I HATE ripe bananas :(. I normally eat them when they still have some green, so every time I make this its just always too sweet for me and I can't stomach it. Question 1: Could you make this with the bananas not fully ripe? Or will the cooking process just sweeten them up anyway? Question 2: I have not added the gelatin when I make this and the shredded coconut always has a slight gritty texture to it, even when I let it sit and soften up. Is this because I don't use the gelatin, or does to shredded coconut always have that texture regardless? Like I said, there are so many things about this that I want to like. If I could tweak this just a bit, I will be eating this all the time! Would love your insight! Thanks - Alex.

Hey Alex! Thanks for the questions! I have never tried the recipe with unripe bananas so I am not sure if it would work or not. If you try it let us know! And I don't find the texture to be gritty so I am not sure if that is because of the collagen or just the brand of shredded coconut used? That could also have an effect. Could be either!
