Today I share with you my low-fat, sugar-free banana ice cream with a delicious, crunchy oat crumble topping! Did you know bananas are a very low-fat food? Less than 4% of their calories come from fat! They also have low glycemic index, meaning that the body absorbs the natural sugars found in the bananas slowly, preventing a sugar rush, yet providing long-lasting energy. Oats, like bananas, are a good source of fiber and help removes cholesterol from the bloodstream. 1/4 cup of oats contains the daily value of manganese, an essential nutrient in bone & skin health. Have I mentioned that this recipe is very simple to make? And it tastes even better when you share it with a loved one!
