Banana delight - Serves 4

This banana/granola/yogurt mix is a snap to put together, and far more filling and complex tasting than you would think.  A family favorite

Follow this link to the recipe:
Banana Delight
  • 2 cups granola – Use the one posted above in this blog.  Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s have nice ones – choose according to flavor and tolerance for fat content
  • 2 cups vanilla yogurt (non-fat is fine)
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 2 T shredded coconut 
Night Before:
Relax. Do nothing.

Next Morning:
Mix. Serve. Eat.

NOTES:
This is a whole lot better and complex in taste than you would think. I was served a variation of this at the old Helmsley Palace Hotel in New York City. They used whipped cream rather than yogurt, and charged a breathtaking $22 for the dish, and this was 20 years ago. We liked it so much, I developed this simple variation, and it has been a favorite ever since. You can vary amounts to suit your taste.
