Recipe of the Week: Rum Bananas

I love low-calorie desserts because they can be worked into any type of meal plan, and I love just about anything that involves bananas, so this recipe is a win-win.

It’s from my cookbook Eat Green Get Lean and it’s downright delicious. The flavor profile is uniquely addicting: the sweet and sour combination of sugar and lime and the piquant combination of rum and cinnamon mix beautifully, and the Greek yogurt is the icing on the dish. 

Enjoy!
