This recipe literally takes two minutes to whip up. It’s a guilt-free and decadent dessert. For best results, enjoy immediately! I personally like to top mine with a drizzle of honey and a pinch of sea salt. Whenever I have bananas that are starting to lose their vibrancy, I peel them and throw them in the freezer. Then I can add them to smoothies or quickly whip up this delicious dessert when I’m craving something sweet after dinner.
Ingredients:
2 slightly overripe bananas (frozen)
½ cup of unsweetened almond milk
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla
Directions:
Blend until smooth
Top with your favorite toppings (honey, sea salt, maple syrup, chocolate chips, coconut flakes…)
Enjoy!
Health Benefits of Bananas:
They have high amounts of potassium, which is beneficial for circulatory health, lowering blood pressure, and preventing muscle cramps. Potassium also helps improve cardiovascular and kidney functioning.
They can be an energy booster because their carbohydrate content becomes quick-releasing sugars that your body instantly uses.
They can help enhance your mood! Bananas contain tryptophan, an amino acid, which produces serotonin, one of our main “happy hormones.”
Greener, unripened bananas are an excellent source of prebiotics. We hear a lot about probiotics (healthy gut bacteria), but we also need prebiotics, also known as resistant starch, to feed the good bacteria!
