Mango and Banana Yoghurt Gelato

A favourite blog of mine for great healthy food options is Julia and Libby.
Right now they are in the middle of a 'Sugar Free Challenge', removing the refined sugar from their diets and encouraging others to join them.

Refined sugar sneaks itself into so many of the readily available foods we buy. The obvious options including; biscuits, jams and sauces and the not so obvious including; cereals, bread, yoghurt and tinned fruit. With increasing societal issues with obesity and diabetes and my own growing interest in the not so natural ingredients being added to our foods and their effects on our body, I'm really enjoying the information coming through in this weeks blog posts.

For more information on why sugar is maybe not so sweet check out this article here and for  alternative sweet snack options to typically sugar laden recipes check out this Julia and Libby link here.

This is my take on the on a delish sweet fix, sans refined sugar. It's originally a Donna Hay recipe, but easily adapted to be sugar free by using an organic yoghurt which is free from any additives including sugar. Enjoy x
