  2. Have banana split for breakfast without an ounce of guilt with this healthy recipe made with melon, honeydew, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, lemon yogurt, bananas, honey and crispy cereal. Kids will especially love this colorful and flavorful ensemble. You can use either honey or cantaloupe melon, or use both. You can also use fresh pineapple or kiwi chunks, or both if they are available. For best results, buy and use the freshest produce in season. Use either granola or crispy cereal for this recipe, or use both for a healthier and more complete meal that is filled with energy. This is just one of the easiest breakfast recipes you can make and originally from Gourmandia.

    Before assembling the breakfast banana split, prepare all the fruits beforehand. It is best to wash, peel and slice them just before you plan to serve them so that they stay fresh and vibrant. The cantaloupe melon or honeydew needs to be peeled and halved then seeded or cored. The pineapple also needs to be peeled and the eyes taken out and cut into chunks.

    1 honeydew or cantaloupe melon, halved and seeded

  4. Preparation Instructions

    With a lemon baller or ice cream scoop, make melon rounds. Set the balls on a baking sheet and place the sheet in the freezer.

    In a small mixing bowl, toss the blueberries and pineapple. Fold in the yogurt.

    Cut the bananas in half, crosswise. Cut each of these halves in half again, lengthwise. (Alternatively, slice the banana into circles and place in the cup as shown in the accompanying photograph.) Place 2 banana slices in the bottom of a cereal bowl. Top the bananas with the melon balls.

    Add the pineapple mixture to each bowl. If using honey, drizzle it over the whole. Sprinkle each bowl with cereal.
