The Goods on Bananas!


Bananas are a great source of Potassium, Magnesium, Dietary Fiber, and Vitamin C that can help improve your mood, lower your blood pressure, aid digestion as well as keep you alert and energized. Bananas also help alleviate the unpleasant symptoms of nausea often associated with morning sickness. 
 
Bananas make a healthy non-dairy alternative to ice cream! To make your own, cut 4-5 ripe bananas into bite size pieces and freeze for 4-6 hours. When frozen, pulse with a food processor until creamy and enjoy.
