The healthiest ice cream you’ll ever eat! This recipe is ridiculously simple but that only makes the resulting meal more impressive with how decadent and delicious it is.
This Ice Cream Is Bananas!
It’s amazing that a single-ingredient ice cream exists, but it does! When frozen and blended, bananas create the perfect mix of sweet flavor and creamy texture.
Bananas don’t get a lot of hype or coverage in the nutrition world, and are sometimes even vilified for having too much sugar.
If you need a refresher on why you don’t need to fear the sugar in fruit, and should actually celebrate and seek it out, read this article!
Bananas bring a lot of nutritional value! They are most known for having potassium, which is true, but they are also a good source of vitamins A, B complex, and C, as well as manganese and fiber.
Contrary to widespread misconceptions about bananas and diabetes specifically, studies show that bananas contain a variety of compounds (such as phenols, saponins, alkaloids, sterols, and flavonoids) that slow glucose absorption and therefore create lower fasting blood glucose and lower A1c.
A Sprinkle of Cinnamon: A Little Goes A Long Way
When you sprinkle cinnamon on top, not only do you create one of the best flavor combinations (rivaling cinnamon’s other best friend, apple!) but you also boost the nutritional value of the meal even more.
Cinnamon is the most widely-used spice in the world, and also one of the most beneficial for your health. The compounds found in cinnamon give it antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and immune system-strengthening effects. It helps to prevent a wide variety of diseases. And it’s incredibly potent! Just a teaspoon of cinnamon goes a long way.
