Chocolate Nice cream

I don’t know about you all but I am often left with rotting bananas. Unless I peel and hand the boys this fruit, they will never reach for one on their own. I some times sneak one in for snack at school but suffice it to say it is not their favorite.

When I saw this recipe for “nice cream” doing the rounds in health circles, I thought I would give it a try. It’s non dairy but the texture and look is just the same.  Add good quality cocoa and you have a healthy dessert or after school snack!

Unlike regular ice cream which is loaded with sugar, the only sweetness in this one is the fruit itself- Perfect!

   did you know that…..

  • Bananas are loaded with potassium and magnesium. These minerals are what is needed by the body to lower blood cholesterol and  protect it against heart attacks and strokes.(1,2)
  • A study conducted by the Appalachian State University found that eating a banana would be better if not as beneficial as drinking a sports drink for athletes during intense cycling sessions(3). 
  • It is also a great source of energy for endurance athletes.(4) Ever noticed Maria Sharapova grabbing a banana during a tennis match? Well now you know why!
  • Bananas are rich in fiber and resistant starch, which feeds the friendly gut bacteria.(5)

Notes:

  1. Quality of ingredient makes a huge difference, especially when it comes to chocolate.
  2. It is essential to have on hand ripe bananas. The riper the better!
