Toppings & Sweeteners

- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle Almond Butter: Drizzle almond butter on top to add healthy fats and a rich nutty flavor that complements the fruit and yogurt.
- Add Granola: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over each portion for a satisfying crunchy texture that enhances the eating experience.
- 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.
