Ingredients
1 Vanilla Wafer Crumb Crust, (see recipe)
1 1/2 tsp granulated gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
2 cup skim milk, divided
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
Sugar substitute equal to 3 tbspns
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 lb firm ripe bananas
Directions
Prepare pie crust and chill 2 hours or longer before filling.
Soak gelatin in cold water and set aside.
Heat 1 1/2 cups milk in the top of a double boiler over simmering water.
In a small bowl combine flour, salt, and 1/2 cup cold skim milk; mix until
smooth and without lumps. Slowly pour 1/2 cup of the hot milk into the
bowl with the four mixture; stir to mix well. Then slowly pour contents of
the bowl back into the pot of hot milk.
Cook and stir over simmering water until thick and smooth. Pour mixture
slowly on top of beaten eggs, stirring constantly. Return to top of double
boiler. Cook and stir over simmering water about 4 minutes; remove from

Cool and chill until mixture begins to gel.
Peel bananas, slice thin, and measure 1 1/2 cups. Arrange 1 cup sliced
bananas in bottom of pie shell, then very carefully spoon and pour filling
evenly on top. Arrange remaining 1/2 cup sliced bananas on top and garnish
with the vanilla crumbs saved when making pie shell. Cover whole pie
carefully with plastic wrap. Chill 2 to 3 hours, until set and firm.

Lycopene foods (includes apricots, red bell peppers and tomato) Lycopene is a non-synthetic compound used to color foods and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is behind the red color of a good number of fruit, vegetables and pulses. Unlike many other nutritional compounds, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if cooked but is noticeably strengthened by cooking. . Lycoprene's most important benefit is that it behaves as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the fight to reduce the risks of cancer. Lycopene is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought to impede the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index weight loss program is reliant on the gi index, a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the carbs in the food type gets converted to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The believe is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Gi number), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to eat fewer food without craving snacks all the time. It's also extremely effective for diabetics, as the low GI food types are beneficial in controlling surges in glucose secretion. |
