Dr Oz: Healthiest Skinniest Sundaes
We learned earlier on today’s show about Superfoods to Fight Exhaustion and Healthy Breakfast Cereals, but do you have a sweet tooth? Do you love Sundaes but don’t find the fat particularly pleasing? You’re in luck! A sundae can contain up to 2 full meals worth of calories, so on today’s show, Doctor Oz scoured the nation to find the healthiest sundaes. He picked 2 of his favorites and had the creators come on the show for a sundae showdown. With the help of Top Chef and “Talking With My Mouth Full,” Author Gail Simmons, Doctor Oz picked the winner! Gail told Dr Oz that she was looking for a creamy, delicious tasting sundae that had some texture.

Dr Oz gave healthy dessert recipes including the Very Berry Banana Blast Recipe & a Super Simple Sundae Recipe.
Dr Oz: Super Simple Sundae with Super Sauce Recipe
1 scoop of mango, coconut milk, ice cream
1 scoop of raspberry sorbet
¼ cup of Naked Red Machine Smoothie
2 fresh strawberries
3 frozen strawberries
1 Tbsp dark choc shavings
Dr Oz and Gail tried it and loved it. Gail said it had that creaminess she was looking for.
A normal sundae has almost 1000 calories, the Super Simple Sundae with Super Sauce had only 361 calories.
Dr Oz: Very Berry Banana Blast Sundae Recipe
1 scoop of vanilla soy ice cream
¼ cup of banana
¼ cup blackberries
¼ cup blueberries
¼ cup pineapple
¼ cup strawberries
¼ cup pomegranate
3 tsp melted dark chocolate.
Doctor Oz and Gail tried the Very Berry Banana Blast Sundae and loved this one too. Gail said she didn’t even miss the regular ice cream because the soy ice cream was so good. She also liked the crunch from the pomegranate.
Calories of the Very Berry Banana Blast Sundae : 373
Who won? Dr Oz made it a tie from the health perspective. Gail had to judge the taste and ended up choosing the Very Berry Banana Blast Sundae! (Personally, I’d take either!)
Dr Oz also gave his 3 favorite low calorie desserts which included;
Dr Oz: Diana Dark Chocolate Banana Babies Review
