Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup (240 milliliters / 8 fluid ounces) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
Fruits:
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh blueberries
Toppings and Extras:
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) granola
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) honey or maple syrup
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Halve ripe bananas lengthwise and position them on individual serving platters, creating a classic split base.
- Generously layer smooth Greek yogurt along the banana’s center, using the spoon’s edge to distribute evenly.
- Create a vibrant topping by artfully scattering fresh strawberry slices and whole blueberries across the yogurt surface.
- Enhance texture by sprinkling crunchy granola clusters uniformly over the fruity yogurt layer.
- For additional sweetness, delicately drizzle pure honey or maple syrup in elegant zigzag patterns.
- Optional: Garnish with fragrant mint leaves to elevate presentation and provide a refreshing aromatic touch.
- Serve chilled immediately to maintain optimal yogurt consistency and fruit freshness.
Notes
- Swap Greek yogurt with dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan version that’s equally creamy and delicious.
- Choose ripe, slightly soft bananas for maximum sweetness and easier slicing without breaking the fruit.
- Toast the granola beforehand in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance its nutty flavor and create a crunchier texture that adds more depth to the dish.
- Experiment with different berry combinations like raspberries or blackberries to keep the recipe exciting and match seasonal availability.
