The taste and texture we love about ice cream just got healthy! Never feel guilty again, frozen bananas are the bomb and LOADED with health benefits. So how is this at all related to ice cream? If you have never tried it...you're about to GO BANANAS! Slice one up, put it in the freezer for a few hours or over night. After a hard, stressful day at work, you're looking for that indulgence, grab those frozen banana chips and try any of the following: eat em' with your fingers, mix in some low fat, Greek or soy yogurt, add some blueberries, top with a healthy cereal, wheat germ, nuts, even ground flax seed, OR if your blender has the power, blend the frozen banana with a very little bit of skim or soy milk to give you that ice cream consistency.
AND the benefits....Vitamin B6 regulates blood glucose levels which impacts your mood (a great PMS remedy ladies), helps anemia, lowers blood pressure, helps with constipation, hangovers, heartburn, the list goes on and on. An amazing pre-exercise snack too, research shows two bananas provide enough energy for a 90 minute workout! So forget feeling guilty over that bowl of ice cream, GO BANANAS and reap the benefits!
