Ingredients
  

  • 2 5 oz containers yogurt- I used strawberry and toasted coconut vanilla
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds divided
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice divided
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 banana sliced lengthwise then cut in half
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granola + 1 teaspoon crushed pistachios for topping-optional

Instructions
 

Chia Seed Pudding

  • Transfer each container of yogurt into separate small bowls.
  • Add 2 tablespoons chia seeds and 1/4 cup milk to each bowl. Stir well until combined and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Homemade Whipped Cream

  • Place mixing bowl and beaters or if using stand mixer the bowl and attachment in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to bowl and beat on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes or until mixture has thickened and soft peaks start to form. To easily judge this, lift the beaters out of the mixture and you should see some peaks on the end of beaters. Should be soft, not stiff.
  • Refrigerate if not using immediately.

Banana Splits

  • Place two good scoops of chia pudding in bottom of bowls to set bananas in.
  • Arrange 2 banana halves in the chia pudding of each bowl.
  • Add berries around/in between banana halves.
  • Top with a few more scoops of chia pudding. Estimate about 1/2-3/4 cup chia pudding per banana split.
  • Sprinkle granola and crushed pistachios on top of fruit if using.
  • Top off banana splits with a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Enjoy and if you make them tag 'em @3scoopsofsugar on Instagram. I would love to see!!

Notes

Can easily expand recipe to make more banana splits as you will likely not use all of the chia pudding for just 2 banana splits.
Homemade Whipped Cream is not included in nutrition facts label as you will most likely not use all of it for this recipe. Recipe for whipped cream adapted from Celebrating Sweets
