Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/4 cup mixed berries
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing the mixed berries and ensuring all other ingredients are at hand.
- Take a ripe banana and carefully slice it lengthwise down the center, creating two equal halves. Place the banana halves on a serving plate or bowl.
- Scoop the Greek yogurt directly onto the banana, spreading it evenly along the length of each banana half. Use a clean spoon to distribute the yogurt smoothly.
- Sprinkle the granola generously over the yogurt-covered banana, ensuring an even distribution for consistent crunch in each bite.
- Scatter the mixed berries on top of the yogurt and granola, creating a colorful and appetizing presentation.
- Drizzle honey in a zigzag pattern over the entire banana split, allowing the golden liquid to enhance the sweetness and provide a glossy finish.
- For optimal enjoyment, serve immediately to maintain the granola's crispness and the banana's fresh texture.
- Optional: Garnish with a mint leaf or additional berry if desired for extra visual appeal.
Tips
- Choose a perfectly ripe banana - it should have some brown spots, indicating peak sweetness and easier digestibility.
- Use thick, strained Greek yogurt for maximum creaminess and protein content.
- Select a granola with a mix of nuts and seeds for added nutritional value and crunch.
- For best presentation, use a long, narrow plate or bowl that showcases the banana split's beautiful layers.
- Experiment with different berry combinations or seasonal fruits to keep the recipe exciting.
- If you're meal prepping, keep granola separate until just before serving to maintain its crispy texture.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or a dollop of nut butter.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect temperature and texture contrast between cool yogurt and crisp granola.
