How to Make Banana Split Chia Pudding
Banana split chia pudding is SO easy! I started with my basic chia seed pudding recipe, added some Greek yogurt and used a bunch of fun toppings inspired by a traditional ice cream based banana split. Bananas and berries, obviously. Then I got fancy and added cacao nibs for good measure. You can’t have a banana split without a little chocolate in there.
Chia Pudding with Greek Yogurt
This chia pudding flavor combo is so delicious — probably the best chia seed pudding I’ve ever made. I think the Greek yogurt is what really makes it. I use full-fat plain Greek yogurt so the pudding is extra creamy and has an added boost of protein. Chia seeds have a little plant-based protein on their own (2 Tablespoons have 4 grams of chia seeds), but adding Greek yogurt to the mix, even if it’s just a little bit, adds a good amount of protein.
Breakfast, Snack or Dessert
The best part? This banana split is super healthy — loaded with healthy fats from the chia seeds, protein from the Greek yogurt and lots of complex carbs from the fruit. It makes for such a delicious breakfast, but you could totally have this an after-dinner snack too! And it turned out to be quite photogenic as well. Chia pudding is like oatmeal and soup. Sometimes it’s hard to capture a beautiful photo of it, but this bowl turned out to be stunning.
