Vegan Dessert - 'Chocolate Popeye' - Bananas, Spinach & Cacao Dessert


Chocolate pudding for dinner, this was another one of my dessert for dinner evenings!


What might not be obvious to see is that there is spinach in there! Yep I threw a handful of spinaach into the mix. 


What I love about this is that you can't taste the spinach! Aso it blends into the background and you have strain to see the green flecks.


The great thing about ripe bananas is that they are so sweet that you dont need any sweetener of any kind. They provide a nice creamy thickness too, the best of both worlds.



To make this scrummy dessert you will need:

○Bananas x4
○New Zealand spinach or regular spinach x1 handful
○Cacoa powder x1 tablespoon
○Granola with raisins
○Ginger


As always I like to look at the nutritional benefits of ingredients used.





One last look at the chocolatey yumminess!

Vegan Receipe - 'Bananarama' - Vegan Dessert - Just 1 Ingredient!



Who doesn't love ice cream?


This vegan ice cream is so simple it's child's play! 



The beauty is that is made from 1 ingredient so need to worry about 'extra' ingredients from store bought ice cream.



All you need is some ripe bananas, a freezer and a blender!



Chop and keep bananas in the freezer then whenever you feel like some ice cream take them out and blend with a few drops of water and voila you have vegan ice cream!



In the picture above I was content to have it on its own but you can jazz it up by adding fresh fruit, frozen berries or nuts.




For chocolate nice cream simple add a table spoon of cacao to x3 frozen bananas and voila you have chocolate ice cream as shown below.


What I love about bananas especially the ones in Costa Rica is that they are so sweet that you can use them in a sweet dish to replace the sugar!

 So for both instances of  this vegan ice cream no sweetners of any kind was needed!
