WHOOP WHOOPS FOR BANANA SCOOPS
Summer is definitely ice cream season, so we’re very excited to welcome Banana Scoops to Ocado. Banana Scoops are the UK’s first vegan dairy-free banana-based ice cream brand. Their three flavours (banilla, chocolate and raspberry) are sweetened with dates and each portion is just 156 calories – safe to say we’re pretty big fans.
We’ve picked out two of our favourite recipes to celebrate. Both are easy to make and full of fruity flavour, the only hard bit is choosing which one to choose first.
Banana Scoops Smoothie Bowl – An easy smoothie bowl to brighten up your morning using up ingredients in your fridge or cupboard.
