Description

A quick and nutritious High-Protein Banana Split Yogurt recipe perfect for breakfast, snack, or a light dessert. This wholesome dish combines creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries, sliced bananas, crunchy granola, almond butter, and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup and mini chocolate chips for a deliciously balanced meal ready in just 5 minutes.


Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 ripe bananas (sliced lengthwise)
  • ¼ cup fresh raspberries
  • ¼ cup blueberries
  • ¼ cup strawberries (hulled & sliced)

Dairy

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)

Toppings & Sweeteners

  • 4 tablespoons almond butter
  • ¼ cup granola
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Slice Bananas: Start by slicing the bananas lengthwise to create long halves. Place them carefully in shallow bowls or on plates as the base of the banana split.
  2. Add Greek Yogurt: Scoop approximately ½ cup of your chosen Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain) onto the center of each banana half, or on top, to provide a creamy and protein-rich layer.
  3. Top with Berries: Sprinkle a handful of fresh raspberries, blueberries, and hulled and sliced strawberries evenly over the Greek yogurt for a burst of fruity freshness and additional nutrients.
  4. Drizzle Almond Butter: Drizzle almond butter on top to add healthy fats and a rich nutty flavor that complements the fruit and yogurt.
  5. Add Granola: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over each portion for a satisfying crunchy texture that enhances the eating experience.
  6. Finish with Maple Syrup and Chocolate Chips: Drizzle with maple syrup for natural sweetness and scatter mini chocolate chips for a delightful finishing touch. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and easier slicing.
  • Choose plain or vanilla Greek yogurt depending on your sweetness preference.
  • Fresh berries can be substituted with frozen if fresh are not available; thaw them before use.
  • Almond butter can be replaced with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and omit chocolate chips or use vegan chocolate chips.
  • This recipe is best served immediately to maintain fresh texture and avoid sogginess from granola.
