What is "Healthified"?

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Did You Know?

Bananas are at their sweetest when very ripe, flecked with brown and very soft. Extra unpeeled bananas can be bagged and frozen up to a month. Just thaw, cut off the end of the peel and squeeze the banana into your mixing bowl.

Substitution

You can substitute about 1/2 cup dried currants or dried cranberries for the walnuts.
