Sorry, I've been sitting on this idea all week trying to find time to simply post! But I won't bore you with crazy life busy stories. 🙂 Here's the deal...
This past weekend after a long run (I'm training for a marathon) I wanted, I was craving, fruit. Thankfully we just went shopping so I had lots of options. 🙂 
Of course I couldn't just grab a banana. The little guy and I had a fun creating (and sharing) a fun fruit salad. Here's what we did...
- 1 medium Banana
- Handful of fresh blueberries
- About 2 cups of fresh watermelon (need it whole for effect)
- ½ oz roasted almonds (I used the Emerald Cocoa Roast Dark Choc. Almonds
)
)Cut the banana down the middle, lengthwise and place in bowl.
Scoop large circle pieces of watermelon using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop. Place on the bananas. Sprinkle with the blueberries and almonds.
Have fun! 🙂

Hello. Have you ever tried with a frozen watermelon? Just scoop out the circle pieces before putting it in the freezer. Yay! Watermelon sherbet! Sometimes, I even freeze other fruits after putting some lemon juice and chili powder over them. Excellent refreshing snack!
Does it not freeze solid?
thank you for those cocoa almonds...you've posted them before...and, i was able to get some...now i buy them in bulk at Sam's club...they cure so many of my sweet/crunchy cravings 🙂
Sounds so delicious. Cheers for a great recipe, I'm sure
Hi Bridget! I linked to them in the ingredient list. I've seen them at all my local grocery stores. the brand is Emerald.
Hope that helps!

What an interesting twist! I love those almonds, too!
What a great way to enjoy summer fruits! Loved it.
I have seen you use the cocoa almonds before, Is there a brand you use, where do you get them?
This looks great! I love the cocoa almonds.
This is too cute! I'm going to get the stuff to make this today! I think it's great that you are teaching your child how to eat healthy and fun. Many times people think it's one or the other. Thank you for sharing!
Now THAT is my kinda banana split! 🙂
What a fabulous treat!
