After much popular demand I am releasing this epic low FODMAP ice cream recipe! It's easy... it's delicious... and this simple strawberry banana ice cream goes perfectly with chocolate fudge sauce. This is definitely a dessert your family will love! Keep in mind that this recipe is quick to whip up but you will need to leave some time for it to chill in the freezer.
Recipe Note: I prefer to use bananas that are firm with no brown spots as the recipe tastes better and they are lower in FODMAPs. Make sure you freeze your banana and strawberries in advance as this helps give your ice cream a better texture.
FODMAP Note: Common bananas when they are firm (unripe - green or just yellow) are low FODMAP in 100g serves, however they become high FODMAP for fructans when ripe (yellow with brown spots) Use firm banana for this recipe. Make sure you divide the recipe into 4 serves.
Recipe update: Please note this recipe was updated on the 23 December 2021 after Monash University reduced the recommended serving size for strawberries. This recipe follows low FODMAP guidelines.

When choosing bananas make sure you select common bananas and not sugar bananas. Then use the bananas when they are firm (green to just yellow) and then become high FODMAP when they are ripe (have brown spots).
