No need to skip dessert – indulge yourself with a deconstructed classic

Did you ever imagine your fondly-remembered childhood desserts would be recommended as healthy options? We’re not about to rehabilitate the knickerbocker glory, but its fruity cousin the banana split can help you achieve your goals if you make this MF-endorsed version. It swaps trans fat-rich ice cream for protein-packed natural yogurt, helping you add lean mass rather than belly blubber. You even get chocolate sauce – dark, naturally, to provide a hit of heart-healthy antioxidants.
