This is a fabulous no-recipe - recipe. There's nothing to cook for this recipe. It's a throw-it-together recipe that I created, perfect for breakfast or dessert.

A banana split is a 70s classic and usually loaded with ice cream and cream, drizzled with chocolate and topped with glace cherries and flaked almonds. My recipe is healthier and just as delicious, but I sexed it up a bit. Topped with fresh fruits, coconut yoghurt and runny almond butter.

Yoghurt

I always use coconut yoghurt. If you have no issues with dairy, use greek yoghurt instead. Mix it a little first, so it's smooth and not lumpy.

Bananas

Bananas are a great source of fibre, potassium and vitamin B6 and 12. Naturally sweet, they are an excellent option for a healthy dessert. Find a ripe but firm banana for this recipe.

Almond butter

I used crunchy nut butter and added some honey to make it runny. Feel free to swap for peanut or hazelnut butter instead.

Bee pollen

If you follow a vegan diet, omit the bee pollen, as that’s not strictly vegan. Bee pollen has gained traction in the health community because it contains nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, lipids and over 250 active substances. Read more about the health benefits of bee pollen here.

Ingredients

Tips

Always prepare this as your about to eat it, as the bananas will brown really quickly.

You could mix up your sauces, use melted dark chocolate, or my vegan salted caramel or raspberry sauce instead of just the nut butter.

Other toppings you could add

  • Cacao nibs

  • Museli

  • Granola - try my homemade version here

  • Chopped nuts pistachios/ walnuts/ pecans

  • Raw chocolate


Makes 1 portion - 5 mins prep time

  • fresh raspberries

Method

  1. Slice the banana lengthways and place onto a plate ( see picture)

Variations

Swap the yoghurt for any flavoured yoghurt of your choice, Mix up the toppings and sauces. A great combo would be coconut yoghurt, salted caramel with chocolate chips and peanut butter. Go nuts and have fun with the toppings and sauce combos.
