Dietary Symbols – link 

Perfect for Summer time – this Banana Pecan Ice Cream is sooooo easy. You probably already have the ingredients in your freezer.  Frozen bananas!  Putting bananas that are going bad into the freezer for future banana bread or……. Banana Pecan Ice Cream! 

These go great with cookies – including the Almond Coconut Chocolate Cookie (using almond meal or flour) or Almond/Peanut Butter cookie (using almond flour so less nut butter). 

Why incorporate it?

This is the easiest summer recipe – and in the summer that is exactly what most of us want in the summer. Summer if full of get togethers, endless fun activities, and nature to keep us feeling centered.  Here’s one recipe to add to your menu. 

Banana’s have lots of potassium, and fiber, good source of Vitamin C, and magnesium.

Banana’s have a medium glycemic load, load takes into account the amount in 100 grams and takes into account the fiber in the food that will slow down the rising of the blood glucose levels.  It has a high glycemic index – meaning it causes blood glucose levels to rise.  At Lively Life, I suggest you look at glycemic load instead of index, since it takes into account the fiber, amount of carbohydrates and the amount of food.
