Healthful Breakfast Banana Split

Husband-Tested Recipe from Alice Wootton

Makes 2

Get a big healthy dose of good-for-you fruit, fiber, and protein with this fun breakfast. Serve along with a piece of whole-grain toast and a cup of hot tea if you like.

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

1 ripe banana, split down the middle lengthwise, then again crosswise

4 strawberries, topped and chopped into small pieces

¼ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

¼ cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in own juice)

¼ cup Coconut-Buckwheat Granola or your favorite granola

Optional topping:  Homemade Berry Sauce or local honey

The night before you plan to serve, place the Greek yogurt into a sieve that has been lined with a coffee filter.  Place the sieve over a bowl to catch the whey (the liquid) and store in the fridge overnight.  The next morning the bowl will have quite a bit of whey in it that you can discard or use for another purpose. The yogurt will be quite thick, like ice cream J 

Place two pieces of banana on each plate.  Using an ice cream scoop, dip out the thickened yogurt onto each banana half.  Place some of each fruit on top of the yogurt/banana.  Sprinkle with the Coconut-Buckwheat Granola. Drizzle with the Homemade Berry Sauce or local honey, if desired and enjoy.
