Ingredients
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 cups tart cherry juice
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (whole, low-fat, and non-fat all work)
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup granola
- ¼ cup dried tart cherries
- ½ cup frozen tart cherries (thawed)
Directions
- Make the tart cherry chocolate sauce. Place the chocolate chips in a bowl. Add the tart cherry juice to a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until reduced to ⅔ cup. Pour the reduced tart cherry juice into the bowl with the chocolate chips and mix until all of the chocolate is melted, and you have a smooth sauce.
- Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and place on 2 plates. Spoon ½ cup of Greek yogurt on each banana, then drizzle on 2 tablespoons of almond butter and 2 tablespoons of tart cherry chocolate sauce.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola, 2 tablespoons of dried tart cherries, and ¼ cup of thawed frozen tart cherries on top of each banana split. Serve and enjoy!
- Store any leftover tart cherry chocolate sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for later use.
