This simple dessert recipe is a staple in my home. My husband has quite a few dietary limitations due to his Crohn’s disease, so having a recipe with only a few ingredients is a must. Not only will this recipe satisfy a sweet tooth, but it’s super quick and easy. In literally 6 minutes, you can create a fun and tasty dessert!

Nutritional Benefits at a Glance

– Avocados are a good source of healthy fats, as well as folate, magnesium, potassium, vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, C, E, and K.

– Bananas are a good source of potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, vitamins B6, and C.

– Honey can be easier to digest for those with gut-related autoimmune diseases

People who need to follow a low-fiber diet should be aware that avocados and bananas contain some dietary fiber.

Additionally, people with diabetes should be aware that even though honey is a natural sugar, it will still cause blood sugar levels to increase.
