Cho’banana Split

Happy Friday, it’s a soggy one here in Massachusetts!

First off I would like to send my thoughts and prayers out to everyone who has been effected by the earthquake and tsunami and to all the family members who are waiting to hear about their loved ones.

So I can’t decide if this next dish I am about to share is considered a breakfast or dessert. I’m going to say both, but I’ll let you be the judge!

I was lucky enough last month to win a case of Chobani Champions Greek Yogurt for kids! When you have this much yogurt, you need to get creative!

The girls love to have some as an afternoon snack or right out of the freezer as yogurt pops. I’ve been trying to get the girls to eat more for breakfast because a small bowl of cereal barely holds them over to lunchtime at school. This is where I thought this recipe would come in handy  for breakfast! It is inspired by Devin Alexander’s cookbook  I Can’t Believe It’s Not Fattening and of course my LOVE for Nutella.

Mix a couple teaspoons of nutella in with the yogurt, I used Chobani Champions honey-nana.

Sprinkle your favorite cereal on top, I used Kashi’s Go Lean Crunch!

It’s almost looks like the real thing, right? Minus the whipped cream and cherry on top!

Well, it tastes delicious and so much healthier!

I’m trying this out on the girls tonight for dessert and if it’s a hit Mom will be a rock star when she offers dessert for breakfast next week!

Woot! Woot!         Open-mouthed smile

And weekly I spread peanut butter in between sliced banana! Thanks for sharing this simple idea. Congrats on your win too! WOOOHOOOO!!!
