Fluffy Yogurt Banana Split (Printable Version)

Creamy yogurt layered with banana, berries, granola, and chocolate for a nourishing start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 large ripe banana, sliced
02 - 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

→ Yogurt Layer

04 - 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Granola & Toppings

07 - 1/2 cup granola
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
09 - 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips
10 - 2 tablespoons shredded coconut, optional

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture reaches a light and fluffy consistency.
02 - Arrange half the banana slices evenly at the bottom of each jar or glass.
03 - Distribute approximately 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture over the banana slices in each jar.
04 - Sprinkle a layer of sliced strawberries and blueberries over the yogurt layer.
05 - Top with a layer of granola and chopped nuts if desired.
06 - Repeat the layering sequence until the jars are filled, ensuring the top layer is yogurt mixture.
07 - Crown each jar with remaining fruit, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. Serve immediately for maximum crunch or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for softer texture.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent without the guilt, especially when chocolate chips catch the morning light in your jar.
  • You can grab it and go, which saved me countless rushed mornings.
  • The textural contrast between creamy yogurt and crunchy granola happens fresh, right when you eat it.
02 -
  • If you're making these ahead, don't add granola until just before eating or it turns into mush—I learned this the disappointing way.
  • The yogurt sweetens everything it touches, so taste your berry mixture before adding more honey.
03 -
  • Freeze banana slices ahead of time for a cooler texture, or use room-temperature fruit for immediate creaminess—whichever feeling you're after.
  • Greek yogurt thickness varies by brand, so if yours is too thick, loosen it with a splash of milk or extra vanilla.
