🥣 Ingredients For Banana Whip Pudding Recipe

The basic ingredients that you need for your banana whip mousse recipe in a blender are avocado, banana, milk, sweetener of choice, vanilla extract, and vanilla protein powder. The toppings can vary, but I love to use crumbled shortbread cookies (gluten-free of course) or shaved chocolate over top.

To make this tasty banana mousse pudding recipe, you will need to gather a few key ingredients to create the perfect quick dessert today.

1. Banana - Adds sweetness, prebiotic power, vitamins, and minerals.
2. Avocado - Why do I love avocados so much? Fiber. Avocados are a great source of fiber, higher in insoluble fiber. Increasing fiber-rich foods in your diet helps support our detoxification pathways. Want clear skin? You need to support those detox pathways in your body. This helps clear out toxins and excess hormones quicker from our body.
3. Protein Powder -  I highly recommend my E*Y*N plant-based vanilla protein powder. The vanilla adds to the depth of flavor in the recipe. Chocolate protein powder also works well if you want that chocolate banana vibe.
4. Maple Syrup - This adds just the right amount of sweetness, but feel free to swap it with your favorite sweetener of choice. See substitutions below.
5. Milk of Choice - I like unsweetened almond milk the best.
6. Vanilla Extract - Vanilla Extract - Just a dash will work. I use ½ a teaspoon and it works well.

⏰ My Go-To Banana Whip Dessert

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer mousse to a serving bowl, then cover and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving.

The taste and texture are like an elevated soft-serve banana ice cream treat but without all the guilt. Plus, you get added protein and additional micronutrients like potassium.

🍌 Health Benefits of Adding Bananas to Recipes

Bananas are not only delicious and versatile, but they also come with a multitude of health benefits that make them an excellent addition to various recipes. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, bananas help support heart health, boost the immune system, and promote proper brain function.

They are also rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and maintains regular bowel movements. Moreover, the natural sugars in bananas provide a quick energy boost, making them an ideal ingredient for breakfast dishes, snacks, and smoothies. Including bananas in your diet may even help regulate blood sugar levels due to their low glycemic index, making them a great option for people with diabetes.

Additionally, bananas contain antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body. For those looking to improve their overall well-being, incorporating bananas into daily meals can be a simple yet effective way to enhance nutrition and health.

🥑 Avocado Health Benefits

Avocados are a versatile and nutritious fruit that can be incorporated into a variety of recipes, offering numerous health benefits. They are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help improve heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels.

Additionally, avocados are packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, vitamin E, vitamin C, potassium, and folate, which support overall well-being. Their high fiber content aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy gut, while antioxidants present in avocados help combat oxidative stress and inflammation.

By adding avocados to your meals, whether in salads, smoothies, sandwiches, or even desserts, you can enhance the nutritional profile of your diet and enjoy both the creamy texture and the unique flavor they bring to dishes.
