I love an excellent Bananas Foster Dessert. It was one of the first classic desserts I learned to make when attending a trade school for culinary arts in high school. This dessert is full of sweetness and comes with quite the show of bananas set on fire.
As much as I love this dessert, it doesn't fit too well in my healing journey at the moment. I decided to develop a healthier version of the dessert, so I didn't feel like missing out. When I say it's the best bananas foster smoothie, I mean it.
What are bananas foster?
Bananas foster is a classic New Orleans dessert made by cooking bananas in rum, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes walnuts. The caramelized banana sauce is served over vanilla ice cream. Don't worry, the alcohol from the rum is burnt off during the flambe or cooking stage.
