Add in mashed banana, berries, and peaches. Pour in almond milk, and mix ingredients together. Place in the fridge and leave overnight.
In the morning, remove from the fridge, heat on the stove top or in the microwave, or enjoy cold! If you find the mixture is too thick in the morning just add in some extra almond milk.
