I love waking my kids up in the morning and treating them to banana splits. Well, okay- half of that is true. I love making their banana splits, but I do enjoy the mornings when they sleep in, as any tired momma would.
These yogurt banana splits are great because they're so versatile and easy to throw together. With sliced bananas and their favorite yogurt, I can get them excited to eat something healthier than cereal (and with less effort than a full-course meal).

🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Bananas- You will want some nice and ripe bananas for these banana splits. If you have more ripe bananas, try making some Banana Playdough!
Yogurt- Use your favorite yogurt or Greek yogurt for added protein.
Fresh Berries- Adding fresh berries will give you a nice bowl of color and added benefits too. I recommend sticking with seasonal berries because they're cheaper.
Granola- Topping this treat with some granola is optional, but it's a great way to sneak in more crunch and flavor.

💭 Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! Protein from yogurt and potassium from bananas come together to create a satisfying breakfast option. Greek yogurt is also a great choice for a delicious morning meal.
The name comes from the ice cream dessert where scoops of different flavored ice cream were served between two halves of a split banana. These yogurt banana splits have different yogurt flavors between a split banana, keeping the namesake alive (but better).
You can serve yours with different flavored granola, fresh berries like raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or any number of other tasty toppings. It helps to think of what you like in a yogurt parfait and then work from that.
