This healthier take on a banana split provides gut-nourishing probiotics, 24 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber. Soaked nuts and seeds replace granola for a little crunch (plus they’re easier to digest and more nutritious than raw nuts), ground flaxseed adds a boost of omega-3 fats, and a sprinkle of cinnamon helps to keep blood sugar balanced.
