Banana Split

The original banana split was created in 1904 and is now a favourite dessert, but at an average of 1,000 calories, it’s also one of the biggest nutritional offenders. Keeping the portions realistic, and using non-fat frozen yoghurt in place of ice cream allows you to indulge without the guilt. Topped with whipped dairy topping and a cherry, who can resist this simple treat.
