Healthy Banana Split
Something that’s really hard to balance when you’re trying to eat healthy is that end of a meal slump when you want something sweet but not so sweet it’ll spike your blood sugar. This is where these beauties come in! I used to eat banana splits a lot as a child, piling them high with sweets, ice cream and chocolate, but now I’ve found a way to make them healthy and just as delicious! Start with a banana and some yogurt (whatever variety you like) and then you can top that with whatever you want. Personally I like a mixture of fresh fruit with some nuts and a little bit of super-dark chocolate, but you can top yours with whatever you fancy – which is partly what makes it so good!
Recipe
Serves 1
Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 Banana
- 3 tbsp Greek Yogurt (or yogurt of choice)
- 1 Passion fruit
- A handful of fresh Berries (I went for strawberries and raspberries)
- 1 Chunk (about 50g) of 100% cocoa chocolate
- A few Coconut flakes
- 1 tsp Runny honey
- Optional extras (granola, nuts, melted chocolate, peanut butter, ice cream etc)
Method
- Peel and then slice your banana in half and splay out on a plate or in a bowl.
- Spoon the yogurt generously over the top, sandwiching the two banana halves.
- Prepare your fruit toppings, for example halve the passion fruit and scoop out the seeds and then hull the strawberries. Scatter the fruit over the top.
- Grate the chocolate over the top of this, sprinkle over the coconut flakes and finish with a drizzle of honey. Add any extras you want to the mixture and the enjoy!
