    I did not care for the combination of watermelon and banana. I prefer the mock banana split I make with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, banana, and 1 Tbs. low sugar jam (warmed in the microwave) drizzled over the top. - 3/22/09

    This was ok, but for 200 calories I can have some REAL ice cream, which is better. I eat enough fruit and veges at other times, so would rather spend my dessert calories on something I really enjoy. - 11/18/09

    This recipe is very similar to what I eat quite often for breakfast (which is plain, fat-free Greek yogurt topped with fresh fruit and granola/dry cereal--with some flaxseed and chopped nuts sprinkled on top). This 'banana split' sounds cool and refreshing -- perfect for a summer afternoon treat. - 6/11/10

  • This is a good idea for someone who needs to get in their fruit quota. But you cannot have a banana split without Ice Cream, that's the point of eating one. Use the fruit but don't leave off the main part. Add nuts for more crunch. - 6/11/10
