Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or shaved chocolate (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Position a ripe banana on a clean serving plate, carefully splitting it down the center lengthwise to create a smooth foundation for the dessert.
- Generously spread chilled Greek yogurt along the banana’s surface, creating an even, creamy layer that will serve as the split’s primary filling.
- Carefully distribute vibrant strawberry slices, juicy pineapple chunks, and plump blueberries across the yogurt, ensuring colorful and balanced coverage.
- Enhance the texture and flavor profile by scattering dark chocolate chips, crunchy chopped nuts, and delicate coconut flakes over the fruit-laden surface.
- Elevate the dessert’s sweetness by elegantly drizzling pure honey or rich maple syrup, allowing the liquid to cascade gently between the fruit and yogurt layers.
- Present the banana split immediately, capturing its fresh and appetizing appearance, and savor the harmonious blend of nutritious ingredients and delightful textures.
Notes
- Choose ripe, yellow bananas with minimal brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Select Greek yogurt with high protein content for a more nutritious base that provides extra creaminess.
- Consider using sugar-free dark chocolate chips for a low-glycemic alternative that maintains the dessert’s healthy profile.
- Swap honey with stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a diabetic-friendly version that reduces overall sugar content.
