Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 banana, sliced in half lengthwise
- ½ cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries)
Dairy
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, chopped nuts, or granola
- Optional: a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or nut butter
Instructions
- Slice the banana: Cut the banana in half lengthwise and place the two halves on a serving plate side by side, creating the base of your banana split.
- Add the yogurt: Spoon the Greek yogurt over the sliced bananas evenly, providing a creamy and tangy layer that complements the fruit.
- Arrange the berries: Sprinkle the mixed berries on top of and around the yogurt and bananas to add natural sweetness, color, and antioxidants.
- Top with nuts or granola: Add chopped nuts, sliced almonds, or granola for a satisfying crunch and extra texture.
- Optional drizzle: Finish by drizzling honey, maple syrup, or your favorite nut butter over the top for added flavor and a touch of indulgence.
Notes
- You can customize your toppings based on preference or seasonality, swapping berries for other fruits like kiwi or mango.
- Use Greek yogurt for added protein, or substitute with plant-based yogurt for a vegan alternative.
- For extra crunch, toast the nuts lightly before adding them.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the freshness of the fruit and crunchiness of the nuts.
- For added fiber, consider sprinkling chia seeds or flaxseeds on top.
