Change the fruit: Try strawberries, blackberries or sliced kiwi instead.
Add extras: Sprinkle with chia seeds, coconut flakes or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, nut butter, chocolate chips, chia seeds, fruit cocktail, chunks of pineapple, peanut butter, jam, chocolate syrup or fudge syrup, or chopped mixed nuts! I like to garnish mine with mint leaves too.

How to Store Breakfast Banana Split

Store: As this breakfast recipe is best served fresh, it’s best to make it fresh. Leftovers can be covered in plastic wrap and refrigerated but they’ll only be good for about a day, so try to only make as much as you’re going to need.
Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing this but if you do have a lot of fruit to use up, you might want to make freezer smoothie packs with it!

Top Tips

Use ripe bananas: They’re sweeter and softer, perfect for this dish.
Assemble just before eating: This keeps the granola from getting soggy.
Try homemade granola: You can control the ingredients and flavor.
Chill the bowl: It keeps the yogurt cold and refreshing longer.
