Healthy Ice Cream Alternative

Does summer time trigger the desire for ice cream?  Most of us might associate hot summer days with an ice cream treat after dinner or an outing.  Now that you have shifted to a healthier living lifestyle, you may wonder how you can have this cooling treat while avoiding sugar.  Even most of  the “healthier” ice cream alternatives have sugar or other sweeteners added to it.  Here is a simple recipe for an alternative to ice cream.  Now you can have your ice cream and eat it too.

Ice Cream Alternative

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen bananas
  • ⅛ cup coconut milk

Directions

  1. Wrap ripe peeled bananas in parchment paper.  Place in a ziplock bag or sealable container.  Place in freezer for at least 12 hours.
  2. Place frozen bananas and coconut milk in a food processor or high speed blender.  Blend until smooth.  Consistency resembles soft serve.  Eat as is or freeze for an additional 30 minutes if you like a harder texture.

Variations

Add in any of the following things to create a different flavor for your ice cream.  Just place the additional item in to the mixture prior to blending.

  • ½ cup any kind of frozen berries
  • ¼ cup of any nut butters
  • ½ cup of frozen pineapple and top with shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp pure peppermint extract
  • Dash of cinnamon

Distress or Chronic Stress

Distress or chronic stress is uncontrollable, prolonged, or overwhelming stress. Once stress becomes distress, the body manages to survive though not always to thrive. For example, when faced with periods of chronic stress, the body’s immune system function is lowered, and the digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems no longer function the way they should. In a state of distress, the cells of the immune system (and other body systems) are unable to respond normally and produce levels of inflammation which increase the risk of further health issues.

Homeostasis

Homeostasis refers to your body’s ability to regulate itself and maintain a comparatively stable internal environment despite external and internal conditions and events.

Your body is designed to be in a state of homeostasis, where all the systems within are functioning optimally.

Stressor

Stressor is anything that is perceived by the body as challenging, threatening or demanding.

Health Story

In the context of My Wellbeing Compass, your “Health Story” represents the combination of your dis-eases, conditions, symptoms and the history that binds them together. It is multi-layered and multi-dimensional. Unearthing and resolving the root causes at the core of your Health Story is the only way to truly rewrite this Story.

Natural Self-repair Mechanisms

The body is made up of intelligent, living cells that are dynamically connected. They communicate and just know what to do and when to do it in any given situation. They grow, replicate, repair, and age. Every 90 days, the body has a new bloodstream; every year, it manufactures billions of new cells; colon cells refresh every 4 days; the skin is entirely regenerated every 2-3 weeks; white blood cells regenerate in about 1 year; the liver renews itself at least once every 2 years; and the skeleton replaces its cells entirely every 10 years.

You are an incredibly complex, interactive, and dynamic living organism that is well-equipped with self-repair mechanisms that can fight infections, eliminate toxins, fix damaged DNA, destroy cancer cells, and even slow down aging.

This natural self-healing ability (also referred to as cellular intelligence or body’s innate intelligence) explains spontaneous remissions from seemingly “incurable” diseases.
