I'm moving my way back towards eating mostly from the full GAPS list of allowed foods. It helps for me to know I can have delicious treats, even though I'm restricting myself from eating certain foods. This Creamy Banana Blueberry Ice Cream Shakes is one of those treats, and helps me to realize there is no need to feel deprived. There is no need to long for commercially produced soft serve ice cream or frozen yogurt. There is no need to feel I'm missing out.
I can make a delicious dessert for myself which I know has healthy ingredients which will actually provide nutrition for my body.
This shake is very rich and indulgent. It's exactly what I needed today.
If you wish, feel free to modify it by using coconut milk [affiliate link], or a combination of coconut water and coconut cream [affiliate link]. You could also add a cup of ice cubes to stretch the recipe for two.
