Swap: Rich, creamy store bought ice cream for homemade banana 'soft serve ice cream'
Why: While store bought ice cream is ok for an occasional treat, it contains a lot of saturated fat and sugar. If you have a sweet tooth, it may be hard to resist more than an occasional serve. Try banana 'soft serve ice cream' instead - blitz two ripe frozen bananas in a food processor until they turn thick and creamy. Simple! For a chocolate or nutty taste, add one teaspoon of cocoa or 100% peanut or almond butter. This healthy alternative meets your daily fruit, is low in calories, has zero fat and no added sugars. Happy days!
