Berry Banana Split

This morning, I decided to get a little creative with my morning breakfast of fruit and yogurt.  I wanted to make it feel like it was an indulgent treat rather than a healthy option.

As I was reaching for a bowl to use for my yogurt, I spotted my corn cob dishes and decided to use it as a banana split boat!  I love when I can find an alternative for items in my kitchen.  In this case, I am making a healthy version of a banana split.  One that is both fitting for breakfast and the Weight Watchers Simply Filling Program that I am following.

All you need is a banana, berries of your choice, and some fat free yogurt!



Berry Banana Split

Ingredients:  
  • Banana
  • 1/4 cup grapes
  • 1/4 cup blueberries 
  • 1/4 cup plain fat free yogurt, plain fat free Greek yogurt, or sugar-free/fat free flavored yogurt
Directions: 
  • slice banana in half lengthwise, then slice into bite-sized pieces. 
  • Place sliced banana in dish. 
  • Cut grapes in half and place on top of the banana with the blueberries.  
  • Top with yogurt of your choice.  
Notes:  
  • Top with a Simply Filling friendly cereal in place of sprinkles you would traditionally find on a dessert banana split!  
  • Be sure your yogurt is a power food, otherwise be sure to track points for non-power food yogurts.  I used fat free vanilla yogurt for 1 point.  
  • Use whatever berries you like!  I just happened to have grapes and blueberries on hand this morning.  

PointsPlus Value:  1 point
