Banana splits get a healthy upgrade with cottage cheese. If you’re looking for healthy snacks to make, this recipe only takes 5 minutes to make!Cottage Cheese Sundaes - Easy Healthy Snacks to Make Kids

Banana splits are a true classic. Other than apple pie, can you think of a more American dessert? They are the dessert I remember eating most growing up. They were our favorite impromptu dessert as we often had all the ingredients on hand. Fresh fruit, chocolate, and salty chopped nuts – there’s something for everyone.

We all love ice cream for a treat, but when a healthy snack is needed you should try this healthy swap. It still has all the flavors you love, with a fraction of the calories!

Turns out, cottage cheese made with Real California Milk turns this classic dessert into a healthy snack. Cottage cheese and all California dairy products are a healthy way to get essential vitamins and minerals, like calcium. It’s also a healthy source of protein that will keep you full and give you energy all day. California is the number one state in the country in milk production. 99% of California dairies are family owned, meaning you’re supporting real people who make real food.

You can find California dairy products all over the country, by using their easy product locator. At the grocery store, look for the Real California Milk seal.Cottage Cheese Sundaes - Easy Healthy Snacks to Make Kids

Cottage cheese even holds its shape like ice cream when you use an ice cream scoop.
