Grilled Banana Split

(serves 1)

Ingredients

• 1 medium banana
• 1 tsp dark chocolate chips
• 1 marshmallow, cut into small pieces
• 1 strawberry, sliced
• ½ tsp unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 tsp chopped walnuts
• 1 tsp chocolate sauce

Directions

• Preheat the grill. With the peel on, slice the banana lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Cut the marshmallow into very small pieces, thinly slice the strawberry, and chop the walnuts.
• Place the chocolate chips, marshmallow pieces, and strawberry slices evenly into the slit in the banana. Wrap the banana in foil and place it on the grill for about 10 minutes.
• Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill and open it. The banana should be soft and the fillings melted. Top with chopped walnuts and shredded coconut (toast the coconut first if you like), drizzle with chocolate sauce, and enjoy.
