Frozen banana bites, frosty, or “ice cream” (low FODMAP)
5 minutes prep • 2 hours freeze • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Low FODMAP • Bananas are tasty, tropical, terrific for your health, and only perfectly ripe for about one day. Especially when you have IBS and you know that bananas are only low FODMAP until they get too many spots on them! So, what do you do? Do you buy one banana a day so you always have just one ripe banana at a time? That doesn’t seem very practical! No, you slice them and freeze them when they are at their perfect point and then you eat them at your leisure. Perfection couldn’t be simpler!
INGREDIENTS:
Perfectly ripe bananas (remember bananas are low FODMAP until they start to get a few spots)
DIRECTIONS:
Slice bananas when they are perfectly ripe. Put them in one layer on a parchment-lined tray in the freezer.
After a couple of hours, they should be frozen and you can remove the parchment and push the frozen banana slices off the parchment and into a freezer-safe tightly covered container. Don’t store them in the freezer without covering them as the flavor of the bananas will diminish and the other things in the freezer might start to taste like bananas!
Now, you have perfectly ripe frozen banana slices to eat whenever you like — no worry about them getting too ripe.
Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!
Pro tips:
Want to make a frozen banana frosty? Add frozen banana slices and a bit of lactose-free milk or coconut milk to the blender. Whirl until smooth. You can even throw some peanut butter in there to give it some protein and substance and have it for lunch!
