When trying to lose body fat we have to be in a calorie deficit (eat less calories than you use). To do this we tend to exercise more and select lower calorie foods. However this can lead to us cutting back on those treats that we love so much including ice cream. Here is a calorie friendly dessert which may satisfy this need.
Original recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium banana
Method
- Peel and slice the banana, place in a freezing bag and put in the freezer until frozen solid (minimum 2 hours).
- Place in a blender or food processer and blast it until smooth.
- Sit back and relax, put on your favourite box set, currently game of thrones, with some calorie friendly ice cream. Job done!
You can either enjoy the natural sweet banana taste for just 105 calories or you can get creative and play around with the flavours. Here are a few of my favourites:
