Dessert for breakfast seems almost silly! But swapping out the sugar and fat usually seen in banana splits for low-fat yogurt and fruit means you can make a colorful and exciting yet healthy dish for your little ones.

Ingredients
A tip from Bananasaur: My personal favourite additional topping to this breakfast recipe are cherries (about 3 per serving) – just make sure to remove the pits!

- 240ml low-fat yoghurt
- About 120g mixed berries fresh or frozen
- 4 tablespoon walnuts chopped
- 4 tablespoon rolled oats (try gluten-free oats to make it GF friendly!)
- Optional toppings: 1 tablespoon of cinnamon or honey

A tip from Bananasaur: Because this recipe is so easy, get your kids to help you make it! They could have heaps of fun mashing the berries, or choosing their own healthy toppings.
