Introduction:
If you want something that looks fancy but takes almost no time, a Banana Strawberry Blueberry Stack
is the perfect solution. It’s a simple layered stack of fresh fruit and a creamy filling—usually yogurt, whipped cream,
or a sweetened cream cheese mixture—arranged in beautiful layers that feel brunch-worthy and dessert-ready at the same time.
This recipe is flexible: you can keep it light and healthy with Greek yogurt and honey, or make it more indulgent with
whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate. Either way, the flavors are classic and crowd-friendly—sweet bananas,
juicy strawberries, and poppy blueberries in every bite.
It’s also a great “last-minute” option when you need something quick for guests, a kid-friendly snack, or a refreshing
dessert after a heavier meal. No oven, no complicated techniques—just fresh ingredients and pretty layers.
Ingredients:
For the fruit stack:
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced into coins
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
For the creamy layer (choose one):
- Light option: 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt + 2–3 tbsp honey + 1 tsp vanilla
- Extra creamy option: 8 oz (225g) cream cheese + 1/3 cup powdered sugar + 1 tsp vanilla
- Shortcut option: 2 cups whipped topping or freshly whipped cream
Optional crunch + flavor boosters:
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers
- 1–2 tbsp chia seeds (for a “healthier” boost)
- 1 tsp lemon zest (brightens fruit flavor)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (helps prevent banana browning)
Optional toppings:
- Drizzle of honey or maple syrup
- Chocolate drizzle
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Mint leaves
Instructions:
- Make the creamy layer.
Choose your base:- Greek yogurt: mix yogurt, honey, vanilla (and lemon zest if using).
- Cream cheese: beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Whipped cream: whip cream with a little sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form (if making fresh).
- Prep the fruit.
