    It's creamier if the banana is frozen. I chunked up some overripe bananas into a Stasher bag and decreed that 4 pieces = 1 fruit. Very low stress.

    I also don't think I'm using a tablespoon of honey. I drizzle until I get bored, which might be ½-1 tsp.

Instant Pot Rice

 Instructions Rinsing your rice before cooking makes it less sticky / clumpy, which might be good or bad, depending on what you're after. Mix rice (white jasmine or basmati) and water 1:1 (e.g. 1 cup rice to 1 cup water). Cook on high for 3 min and allow natural release.  Fluff with a fork. In a larger pot, a single cup of rice might burn, so increase the volume. Rice can store well in a container in the fridge for a few days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
