Kiwi Granola Breakfast Banana Split
This breakfast-friendly take on a classic dessert replaces yogurt with ice cream. The thick consistency of strained yogurt (such as Greek or Skyr) helps it hold its shape and tastes similar to a scoop of ice cream. Plus, it’s higher in protein than regular yogurt for added staying power. Lots of seeds and nuts provide a nice textural contrast to the soft banana.

Chole puri is a popular North Indian dish consisting of chickpea curry seasoned with an aromatic spice mix (chhole) and served with fried bread (puri). Instead of the traditional deep frying, we opted for the healthier method of air frying the puri. If you have a basket style air fryer, make sure to place the puri in the centre of the basket to prevent it from breaking due to the circulating air during cooking.
