Ingredients

• 1.5 cups low-fat graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 1 medium ripe banana (mashed)
• 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup strawberries (diced)
• 0.75 cup pineapple chunks (drained if canned)
• 1 cup low-fat whipped topping
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate (melted for drizzle, optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat graham cracker crumbs and unsweetened applesauce. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer. Use a spoon or spatula to flatten it firmly.

Step 4

In another bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt and honey, and stir until fully combined.

Step 5

Spread the banana-yogurt mixture evenly over the graham cracker base as the second layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle the diced strawberries and pineapple chunks evenly over the yogurt mixture to create the fruity layer.

Step 7

Gently spread the low-fat whipped topping over the fruit layer, smoothing it as much as possible.

Step 8

If desired, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top of the whipped layer and sprinkle with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 10

Once chilled, use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
