Probiotic Strawberry & Banana Gelatin Dessert

If you’re looking for a dessert that not only tastes great but also supports your gut health, this Probiotic Strawberry & Banana Gelatin Dessert is an ideal choice.

Lactobacillus reuteri yogurt is rich in probiotics, which are essential for gut health. These beneficial bacteria help balance the microbiome, improving digestion, reducing inflammation, and even boosting immunity. Research suggests that L. reuteri can also promote skin health and support hormonal balance, making this yogurt a powerful addition to any diet for overall wellness.

Strawberries are loaded with antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, which helps protect cells from oxidative stress, boosting skin health and supporting the immune system. Their high fiber content aids digestion, while their low-calorie nature makes them a heart-healthy, nutrient-dense fruit. They also have anti-inflammatory properties that promote overall health.

Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, which supports heart health by maintaining proper blood pressure levels. They are also rich in dietary fiber, particularly pectin, which helps regulate digestion and promote a healthy gut. Bananas provide a natural energy boost and contain important vitamins like B6, which supports brain function and metabolism.

Gelatin is derived from collagen and offers significant benefits for skin, hair, nails, and joint health. It supports the structural integrity of connective tissues and may help improve joint pain. Gelatin is also excellent for gut health, as it helps strengthen the gut lining, which can be beneficial for digestion and reducing inflammation in the digestive tract.

Honey is a natural sweetener with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It provides a source of antioxidants and can soothe sore throats or aid in wound healing. When used in moderation, honey offers a healthier alternative to refined sugars, adding a touch of sweetness while providing trace nutrients and boosting immune health.

Strawberry & Banana Gelatin Dessert Recipe

Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 5 min | Serves: 4

Ingredients

+ 1 cup L. reuteri yogurt (homemade recipe here)
+ 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
+ 1 ripe banana (mashed)
+ 1/2 cup water
+ 2 tbsp animal gelatin powder, unflavored
+ 2 tbsp raw honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)
+ 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat the water over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling, gradually sprinkle the gelatin powder into the warm water, whisking continuously until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

In a blender, combine the strawberries, ripe banana, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.

In a mixing bowl, add the L. reuteri yogurt and the blended fruit mixture. Gently fold together until just combined. Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt and fruit mixture, stirring gently to incorporate without over-mixing.

Pour the combined mixture into individual serving cups or a single dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Once set, serve chilled. For a touch of flair, you can garnish with additional yogurt, sliced strawberries, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
