Description

Start your day with this Healthy Breakfast Banana Split, a nutritious and delicious twist on a classic treat. This recipe combines fresh bananas, Greek yogurt, granola, and mixed berries to create a balanced breakfast that’s rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants, perfect for a wholesome morning boost.


Ingredients

Base

  • 2 ripe bananas

Toppings

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, low-fat)
  • ½ cup granola (low sugar)
  • ½ cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves or thirds, depending on size. Arrange them neatly on a serving plate to form the base of your banana split.
  2. Add the Greek Yogurt: Spoon the Greek yogurt evenly over the banana slices, spreading it gently to cover the fruit while leaving some bananas visible for texture and appearance.
  3. Layer with Granola: Sprinkle the granola generously over the yogurt to add a crunchy texture and wholesome grains.
  4. Add the Mixed Berries: Distribute the mixed berries on top of the granola and yogurt for a burst of color, flavor, and antioxidants.
  5. Drizzle Sweetener: If desired, lightly drizzle honey or maple syrup over the banana split to add natural sweetness without overpowering the fresh ingredients.
  6. Garnish: Finish by sprinkling chopped nuts and chia seeds over the top for extra crunch, healthy fats, and fiber.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your healthy breakfast banana split fresh for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and easy slicing.
  • Choose low-fat Greek yogurt to keep the calorie count moderate.
  • Granola should be low in sugar to maintain the healthiness of the dish.
  • Fresh berries provide antioxidants but frozen ones can be used if fresh are unavailable.
  • Optional sweeteners like honey or maple syrup can be omitted for a sugar-free version.
  • Adjust toppings according to your dietary preferences or allergies, such as using seeds instead of nuts.
