It’s hard to eat healthy when your weakness is sweets!
Sweets are a weakness a lot of us deal with. Having ice cream and cookies all day would be amazing if it didn’t mean all the calories.
Finding healthy alternatives that actually compare to the real thing and fill you up is the best.
One of my favorite recreations are Greek Yogurt Banana Splits.
How do you make a good banana split?
Banana splits are all about the toppings! The right toppings can make a banana split the most delicious treat.
Making it healthy is the tricky part.
Finding a good plain Greek or Whole Milk yogurt is a great way to start!
Look for the Real California Milk seal to find delicious plain greek yogurt made with Real California Milk!
Love supporting dairy’s in my home state of California since 99% are family owned, which means real food from real people. California milk is so healthy and a good source of important vitamins, minerals, and protein! Not to mention, California is a source for quality, sustainable dairy foods!
Healthy Banana Split Toppings
