Other ways to serve banana soft serve
If you’re not up for making your own banana vegan soft serve, you can find premade versions at most grocery stores. Many health food stores also carry frozen versions made with soy or coconut milk, which makes for a healthier alternative to heavy cream. You can even enjoy banana soft serve over pancakes! Simply top your favorite vegan pancake mix with frozen banana vegan soft serve, then add other toppings like chopped nuts and fresh fruit. For a treat that reminds us of Sunday brunch with friends and family, we love topping our dairy-free pancakes with fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries and drizzling on some maple syrup! Not only is it delicious but it’s beautiful too.
Nutrition information
It’s easy to think of bananas as just a fruit, but they’re actually consider to be a starchy vegetable. They’re also load with fiber and resistant starch, which feed your healthy gut bacteria. According to Dr. David Katz, these compounds may help prevent heart disease by improving glucose tolerance and reducing insulin resistance—both risk factors for developing heart disease. Plus, eating enough fiber is vital for long-term weight loss success—and getting adequate resistant starch can boost your good gut bacteria by as much as five times! So next time you’re at Trader Joe’s (or any grocery store), be sure to grab some bananas for their immune-boosting effects that will keep you strong all day long!
