How should I store leftovers?

Is this recipe vegan and dairy-free?

What are the nutritional benefits of hemp seeds and bananas?

Can I make this ahead for meal prep?
Yes. Cook a batch and refrigerate, or prepare the dry ingredients and mix with liquid when ready.
Are there common allergies or substitutions I should consider?
