Now before you dismiss this blog post and shake your head in shame thinking "how can she as a baker go HEALTHY here?" Please understand that nothing I ever make taste icky. This is really good!
What in this ice cream makes it healthy? Well.....everything! The canned pumpkin is a nutrient dense food that provides 28% of daily fiber based on a 2000 calorie diet per one cup. It is also rich in vitamin A (supports visual health), contains Iron and Vitamin E, and is high in potassium which helps control blood pressure and cramps kids get when going through a growth spell. The bananas lower the risk of cancer and asthma as well as blood pressure. They also contain tryptophan an amino acid that may play are role in preserving memory and boosting a gloomy mood. The honey helps prevent heart disease , reduce ulcers and throat irritation. It is also anti-bacterial ad anti fungal. Lastly, the walnuts are good for the brain (they even look like little brains), reduce the risk of breast cancer, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, reduces risk of diabetes, contain antioxidants that boost heart health and deal with stress.
