Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup fresh fruit (berries or other fruit of your choice)
Dairy & Toppings
- 5 ounces strawberry Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- Optional: 2 teaspoons of water (to thin almond butter if needed)
Instructions
- Slice the banana: Carefully slice the banana in half lengthwise and arrange the halves on a serving plate, creating the base of your banana split.
- Add yogurt and toppings: Spoon the strawberry Greek yogurt into the center gap between the banana halves. Then evenly sprinkle the granola and fresh fruits on top for added texture and flavor.
- Drizzle almond butter: Drizzle the almond butter over the assembled banana split. If the almond butter is too thick to drizzle smoothly, mix it with a teaspoon or two of water until it reaches a slightly runny consistency for easy pouring.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your healthy banana split fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can use any kind of fresh fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or sliced kiwi for variety.
- If you want a nut-free option, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free as long as the granola used is certified gluten-free.
- For a vegan version, swap strawberry Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
