2 tablespoons chopped walnuts ($.15)

Methods/steps
Banana Ice Cream:
1) In a food processor fitted with an "S" blade, process the frozen bananas and lemon juice and zest until creamy like soft serve ice cream. It can take a bit of prodding and scraping to get the bananas going in the food processor, but it's worth it.
2) Once creamy, add the poppy seeds and give a whir or two to incorporate.
Strawberry Sauce:
1) In a bullet type blender, puree the strawberries and agave until very smooth.
Additional Tips
*The strawberry sauce should be made first and set aside.
