Slightly bitter and extremely refreshing, this is one instance of what I have dubbed blender-miracles. Throw everything in and blend away! Make sure to use a well-ripened banana to add extra sweetness. If the end result is still slightly too bitter, blend in sugar to taste. This pairs nicely with a balsamic salad.

Instant Pot® Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut Milk
I do not like butternut squash soup, but I love this recipe. I adapted it for the Instant Pot® pressure cooker. You may garnish with unsweetened coconut flakes, salted peanuts, Parmesan cheese, or any other topping you think would add to your enjoyment.
Coconut Rum Punch
Shake up this coconut rum punch on a sunny afternoon and you will feel like you're in the tropics. Fresh lime and fresh pineapple garnish this sparkling drink.
Fresh Fruit with Poppy Seed Dressing
Any fruit can be used, but this is my favorite combination. Try your own creation, but if you wish to use oranges and grapes in the same recipes, DON'T add the oranges until ready to serve or the grapes will be extremely bitter.
