New Page 1
A great tasting, low fat summer snack. Simple to prepare, and full of health
enhancing antioxidants.
Health benefits
Yogurt is an excellent source of protein, calcium, riboflavin and vitamin B 12.
The living cultures in yogurt encourage the right kind of bacteria (good
bacteria) to multiply in the gut, which can be great for your digestion. The
good bacteria in yogurt may boost your immune response. Bananas are high energy
fruit- full of potassium, an essential mineral for maintaining normal blood
pressure and heart function. Blueberries are packed with youth encouraging
antioxidants. It’s a great soothing snack for stomach ulcers.
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas
1 cup blueberries (strawberries & raspberries can also be used)
1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
1 tablespoon of good quality honey (Manuka is great)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Place all ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. Spoon the
mixture into a sealable container and place in the freezer. Freeze overnight.
Experiment: You could make individual servings by placing them in small
paper cups and add a wood stick to make frozen yogurt blocks. Instead of adding
blueberries you can try strawberries, raspberries, peaches or any fruits that
are in season.
4 servings (serving size: 1 cup)
