Using my favorite Cal Giant Berry Farm raspberries, these are loaded with nutrients from raspberries, coconut milk and a little banana! You know a recipe is good when Matt takes a bite and yells WOAHH OMG THESE ARE AMAZING. I also loved watching Ruthie attempt to eat a popsicle for the first time. She loves it but was also so confused by the cold… it was hilarious.
And today Catherine has some super interesting nutrition info on raspberries and their amazing link to brain health!
As a long term care clinician I was involved in Alzheimer and Dementia innovation with dining, so I figured I could share some interesting information about Raspberries in regard to brain health. The MIND diet was developed to promote healthy aging; combining the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet to create a pattern that focuses specifically on brain health.
There are no studies that show following the MIND diet can REVERSE symptoms of Dementia, however there is research that supports slowing the progression or preventing the occurrence of Dementia just by staying active and eating within the guidelines.
Berries (Raspberries are highest on the recommended list) are suggested to be consumed at least twice a week (2: 4 oz servings). The high amount of antioxidants found in Raspberries have been shown to contribute to the positive effects of prevention and reduction of risk for brain function decline as they reduce oxidative stress.
So if you are an ice cream lover but want to consider your health when deciding how to meet that craving, choose this recipe!!!
