⁠
Time taken: 10 minutes prep⁠
Makes: 3 ice cream sandwiches �⁠
⁠
Nourishing Ingredients 👇⁠
• 2-3 Tbsp coconut flour⁠
• 2 small bananas, mashed to a puree consistency⁠
• 1 Tbsp raw cacao nibs (or vegan dark chocolate chips)⁠
• 2 frozen bananas (firm)⁠
• 1 tbsp almond milk⁠
• ½ tsp Vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder ⁠
• Optional spices of choice e.g., cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice etc ⁠
⁠
To create 👇⁠
• Combine the pureed banana with coconut flour and cacao nibs until a dough consistency is reached (depending on the brand you use, you may have to add more flour/mash)
• Roll 2 balls using your hands and spread between two baking paper sheets. Roll until you have a thin layer (not too thin!) and using a cookie cutter and large mug slice around the mug to create 2 circles.
• Repeat with the rest of the dough (so you will have 4 circle in total.
• Place your circles on their tray in the fridge for 5 hours until they have hardened.
• When you’re ready to treat yourself, remove the cookies and frozen bananas from freezer when you are ready to serve them.
• Blend your frozen bananas with almond milk and vanilla (+ optional spices) in your food processor until creamy and ice-cream consistency (you may have to scrape down the sides of your blender)
• Use an ice cream scoop to scoop a small ball of the ice cream and place it right in the middle of one of the cookies. Gently top the second cookie and press lightly (not too hard or they’ll crack).
• Freeze again for ½ hour and remove just 5 minute prior to eating (so that the ice cream is slightly melted & cookie is soft and Moorish).

Advice is often given to avoid fat and protein when constipated and up the fiber (which is true ... for some!). Turns out, fiber can be very hard to digest for some people, and that it can contribute to additional gut problems. Guess what is slippery and does help things glide right along? Yep… FAT! Especially those who struggle with constipation can benefit from adding a lot more fat (from good sources) to the diet. Fats we consume regularly are coconut, olive oil (never heated), olives, avo, nuts, seeds. The fats we don’t consume ever? Vegetable oils and margarine (i.e., processed crap 😊). www.thefodmapfriendlyvegan.com to learn more!! 💜⠀⠀⁣⁠
