This banana split with a twist is made with greek yogurt instead of ice cream. Regular ice cream has more sugar, less protein, and more "empty calories" than greek yogurt does. While eating a banana split (or just ice cream in general) is okay in moderation, this rendition of a banana split is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a yummy, healthy dessert.
Why greek yogurt? Greek yogurt is packed with protein, low in fat, low in carbohydrates, and high in calcium and cobalamin.
Why bananas? They are high in potassium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6 and may lower blood pressure and improve heart health.
Why blueberries? They are low in calories, but high in fiber, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K.
Why almonds? Almonds contain fiber, protein, and lots of monounsaturated fat. They are also good sources of Vitamin E, manganese, and magnesium.
