Other Topping Options

While I chose to top my healthy banana split with yogurt, granola, and fresh berries, there are countless other toppings to explore! Here are some delicious options for enhancing your banana split:

• dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
• chia seeds or pumpkin seeds for added healthy fats
• maple syrup: if you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to drizzle some maple syrup, agave, or honey on top.
• chocolate sauce
• almond butter or cashew butter: while I went with peanut butter, any nut butter of your choice will work beautifully.
• maraschino cherries: to keep the nostalgia of classic banana splits, consider adding a maraschino cherry on top!

Boosting Protein in Your Banana Split

If you’re looking to increase the protein content of this delightful breakfast, several options are available. One of the simplest methods is to mix protein powder into the yogurt used in the recipe.

Additionally, you might have seen the trending use of cottage cheese this year. High in protein, cottage cheese makes a fantastic substitute for yogurt. However, note that it isn’t vegan. If you would like a dairy-free version, you can check out my recipe for quick and easy vegan cottage cheese.
