Note

For best texture, add the banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.

You can substitute the vanilla yogurt with plain Greek yogurt for a thicker, protein-rich option.

Feel free to swap the fruits based on seasonal availability; berries, grapes, or peaches work well too.

This dish is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours if covered tightly.
