6 Recipes that Prove BANANAS Make the Healthiest Frozen Desserts

Pop them in the freezer and bananas transform almost magically and effortlessly into a healthy dessert with delicious wow-factor. 

They're super low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and a great source of dietary fiber, potassium, and manganese. Plus, they have a non-dairy creaminess and a natural source of sugar that won't make your nutritionist mad!

Here are six deliciously simple and healthy frozen banana recipes you'll want to clear out the freezer for...

Salted Chocolate Frozen Banana Bites

These dark-chocolate banana bites are a decadent example of how glam & versatile frozen bananas can be.

What you'll need for this recipe:

3 ripe (but not soggy) bananas
1 batch homemade magic shell (made with dark chocolate and coconut oil)
Coarse sea salt
Cocktail forks or toothpicks

Frozen Banana Sorbet

Even if you have no culinary skills whatsoever, you can make this super simple, refreshing sorbet in a jif. 

There are just three ingredients you'll need:

1 ripe banana, frozen
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon honey


Instructions Here

Banana Ice Cream

Ba-Na-Na-in my best Minion voice!  One ingredient—bananas—make this recipe a standby you'll be making all summer long!

The only ingredient you'll need:

Choco Dipped Frozen Bananas

A simple twist on a popsicle.

What you'll need:

3 bananas, peeled and halved
5 oz of dark chocolate
Finely chopped peanuts or other nuts (optional)


Instructions Here

Frozen Banana Treats

If you feel like dipping your bananas in something other than dark chocolate? Try this vanilla yogurt version instead. You dip the banana, and roll it in granola for a fantastic and almost virtuous dessert crunch. 

What you'll need:

6 ripe bananas
6 wooden craft sticks
8 oz. vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup of granola or granola-based cereal
Waxed paper
Baking sheet

Instructions Here

Banana Bread in a Bowl

There's no actual bread in this recipe; it's more like a breakfast cereal with whole food sources of fiber and protein. But it has that yummy banana bread flavor.

What you'll need:

1 frozen banana
1-2 tablespoons walnuts (optional)
1 cup milk of choice
1 cup flake cereal (preferably gluten-free)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Food on the Fly!

Fast Food not Fat Food

                                     

Hey FitFab friends!

I am just AMAZED at how fast this summer has flown by! I can't even believe we are knocking on August's door?!? In thinking of the craziness of our Back2School schedule, I can't help but think of all our go.go.going! Three kids in multiple sports, all three kids in school this year, husband in school full time, my Crazy Wrap Business! WHOA!

I am a fan of crock-pot meals during these crazy times.  Sometimes though, fast food is our only option. So, I got to thinking...How can I insure that Fast Food doesn't become FAT FOOD? I started doing some research, I put together a list of options for you! If you can't get your crock-pot meal together, if you can't pack a healthy dinner, what options do you have? Check out my list, for some "healthier" ideas for families on the GO!

I would also recommend keeping your Fat Fighters on Hand! I take 2 after my heaviest meal of the day! Read more HERE!
