The pozole is a tasty traditional Mexican dish that is usually prepared with pork, and that is very easy to prepare. This vegetarian version is much lighter since it is much lower in fat, especially saturated fats. The vegetables that are added at the time of serving make this recipe provide a good amount of fiber and nutrients for the body.

If you freeze a banana until solid, then whiz it up in a blender or food processor. It gets creamy and a little gooey, just like good custard ice cream. Feel free to mix in a little nut butter or sprinkle with berries and nuts.
