Easy One Ingredient Healthy Banana Ice Cream Recipe - Step by Step - Vegan/Dairy Free/Gluten Free

I have a terrible sweet tooth especially in the evenings.  My ultimate weakness is chocolate.  I would probably be a super model right now with out my addiction (Just Kidding :P).  Joking aside I would happily eat a whole share bar on my own easily and I find it very hard to have a cup of tea without anything to nibble on!  So I have to (for my own well being) have healthy alternatives on hand to beat the cravings.  Banana ice cream is not only delicious and easy to make but it also has some great health benefits too.

Some Facts on the Benefits of Bananas!

-Bananas contain nutrients that can help moderate blood sugar levels after meals. They may also reduce appetite by slowing stomach emptying.

-Bananas may help with weight loss. They are low in calories, high in nutrients and fiber, and may have appetite-reducing effects.

-Bananas may help relieve muscle cramps caused by exercise. They also provide excellent fuel for endurance exercise.

What you will need for this recipe

Serves one

2 bananas

Your flavours or topping of choice (optional)

Blender

Chopping board

Bowl

1.  Crop Bananas into 6 parts each.  Put in the bowl and freeze for approx an hour (until fairly hard)

2.  Take bananas from freezer.  

3.  Optional - At this point you can add some flavouring.  You can include peanut butter, caramel syrup, fruit or as I usually do a tea spoon of hot chocolate powder to give it a chocolatey kick. Grated dark chocolate is another great option.  You can add just about anything you like!

4.  Put all ingredient in blender and well... Blend.

5.  Put back in a bowl and leave in freezer until hard again (approx an hour)

6.  You can now eat it as it is or add a topping such as nuts, fruit, marshmallow or as I some grated chocolate. 

If you do decide to try this send me some pictures!  or if you have any flavour ideas for me I would love to hear them.

Enjoy

Peace and Love

For more information or to purchase tickets for the shows in October visit www.belfastfashionweek.com or call the Belfast Welcome centre on 028 9024 6609.”

Here are some of my favorite looks the beautiful guests wore to attend the launch of West Coast Cooler AW16.  I love how they are embracing AW trends so early in the season!

                                                       

                                                                            

Emer Dooris

How cute are Emers boots and tights?  Totally girl crushing on her right now <3 I would totally wear this look myself so really feeling her style <3 

 

Lauren Arthurs

Everyone knows ive always been a fan of a full skirt.  I love the length and shade of the navy satin.  Perfectly styled with chic collared top and embellished flats.  A great transitioning outfit from ss to aw.  

Linzi Michelle Graham

Natural red heads can always pull off pastel shades so its great to see Linzi embracing this trend top to toe in light shades.  Dont be afraid to wear pastel colors for AW.  

Julianne Wooton

Julianne could really give Kate Middleton a run for her money in the classy sophisticated look.  Mono is back on trend again this season and is a great look so pull off at this awkward time of the year between seasons.  

Donna McCabe

Donna is giving off rock n roll vibes in this clashy biker chick look.  Patch and biker jackets will be huge this season as are metallic and sequins so this outfit couldn't be hitting any more trends.  Going for sleek hair and make up has really given this look the chic edge it needed to balance the look.   

Jamie Russell - Lewis Cameron

Seriously tho how handsome do these two look?  I absolutely am in love with their unique individual styles.  They have kept it simple but still stand out from the crowd with prints/patterns.  This is a hard mix to accomplish but they really rock the look. Definitely my favorite looks on these two to date.  

Keri Burns

Keri looked classy and elegant in top to toe blue velvet.  Velvet Devore is one of my favorite fabrics, with her porcelain perfect skin and crop hair cut keri was simply a classic beauty.

Louise Vance

Perfectly styled is the best way to describe Louise.  Everything matches and has a place.  No one does tailored as well as this blogger.  Black on black with a dash of orange that really makes the outfit pop.

Lauryn Hall - Micheala Lindsay

These girls are simply goddesses.  Metallics at their best.  I love how the coordinated their outfits.  I have a theory they are secret mythical sirens who have graced us with their style for one day only.  

Eve Brannon

Eve takes inspiration from the biker chic trend with extra patches and denim.  I love the mix of grunge and chic.  The silver metallic high heels dress up the outfit.

Christine Mccabe - Faith Mccabe

Last but certainly not least the two divas of the event.  Christine looked like a classic Hollywood actress with big bouncy hair and an iconic red lip paired with a silver/black metallic dress (very hard to tell she was straight off a very early flight from london).  Faith was stealing all my attention with her cute pink dress and 80s buns straight off the runway.  

I hope everyone enjoyed reading.  I choose all my favorite looks depending on my own personal style.  Pop back soon for more coverage of Belfast Fashion Week AW16.

Peace and Love Lisa
