Did you know that Wednesday was National Banana Split day? That just sounded too good to not celebrate, because, boy, it’s sure been hot lately. So, Coach’s Oats wanted to celebrate as well and include our oats. Cool off from the heat with this fun, refreshing treat. It’s also perfect for when the kids come in from monkeying around outside or arrive home from school. Treat them with this sweet summer snack.
(Recipe below can be adjusted to make as many or as few as you would like.)
Ingredients
