I read a book about K2, and the author mentioned that natto is pretty much the only good plant based source of K2, and that she had tried it in several recipes (you aren't supposed to cook it). They were all pretty bad. BUT, the book also mentioned natto ice cream. Sooooo, I concocted some ice cream using very ripe frozen bananas, some unsweetened Wonder Cocoa, and a handful of frozen blueberries. Put it in a Ninja blender, and it comes out sort of like chocolate mouse--still a bit of the natto-like fluffiness, but if you then put in in the freezer for a bit, it's pretty decent ice cream consistency.
Any other way triggers my gag reflex. Sorry if this is TMI.

I fill the empty natto plastic container a few times with warm water, scrape a little bit with spoon, to drink all of the leftover sticky stuff in the plastic container so nothing goes to waste.
