Notes on ingredients
Bananas
Ensure you use bananas that are neither too ripe nor under-ripe for this caramelised banana recipe. The best bananas to use are just before they start forming brown spots.
Yoghurt
I love anything by the Coconut Collaborative because it has the least nasty added ingredients and doesn’t contain soy. Yay! However, it’s your call to use your favourite brand if you prefer. Some people eat yoghurt following a paleo diet even though it’s not strictly paleo. You could swap for coconut kefir instead.
Toppings
I used pistachios, fresh and frozen berries, and rose petals to decorate the bowl. However, please feel free to use any nuts you prefer.
Other toppings you could use;
Bee pollen ( not vegan)
Shaved coconut
Raspberries
Cacao nibs
Sunflower seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Hemp seeds
Muesli
Granola
Honey
Try to source either organic or raw local honey where possible. If you are following a vegan diet use other sweeteners like;
Agave - Shop here
Maple - shop here
Coconut blossom nectar - shop here
Dairy Free Chocolate
My fave chocolate to use that is dairy free is green and blacks or raw chocolate like Ombar. If you have not heard of raw chocolate. Then read this article. Raw chocolate is incredibly healthy and boasts some amazing health benefits too. Yes, chocolate that’s good for you. There is a god!! All raw chocolate is dairy free.
