Healthy Breakfast Banana Split

Breakfast Banana Split – Looking for  healthy breakfast ideas? What about a  banana split?  for breakfast? YOU BET! Whip up this healthy, “clean-eating” version in about 5 min. and indulge guilt-free.
Healthy Breakfast Banana Split

Sometimes it’s all about the presentation…just changing things up a bit can make something feel “new” and “special”. Case in point, today’s healthy breakfast banana split!

Healthy ingredients, like cottage cheese (or yogurt), fresh fruits and nuts that make up this banana split may already be part of your breakfast routine, but when you dress them up in a fun banana split bowl somehow, they just seem so decadent!

Breakfast Banana Split ( Clean Eating, Healthy)

Preparing this banana split is so easy, even the kids can do it! You can use a special banana split bowl (mine came from Crate and Barrel) or any low shallow dish.

How to make a Healthy Breakfast Banana Split

1.) Cut a banana in half lengthwise and place in the dish.

2.) Add a layer of strawberries, blackberries or any of your favorite fruits between the banana slices. This helps to hold them up and forms the base of the banana split.

3.) Add a few scoops of cottage cheese (or your favorite yogurt) and top with fruit jelly (or even chocolate sauce if you like) granola and nuts.

It’s pretty hard to have a bad day when you start out with a fun ( and healthy) breakfast banana split!

    Do you have the nutrition information on this recipe? Tracking calories in LoseIt! and would like calorie count per serving. Thank you!

      Cheryl- I just added the nutritional info for the recipe using cottage cheese. If you are looking to shave off some calories you could substitute low-fat yogurt. One cup of 1% cottage cheese has approx. 164 calories, check the nutritional info for various yogurt brands you’ll probably find something around 100 cal for a cup.
