Strawberry Banana Fluff Salad – Creamy, Sweet & Perfect for Every Gathering


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
(Serves 8)

Fruit base:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 medium bananas, sliced (you love banana desserts!)
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (to prevent browning—you love citrus!)

Fluff mixture:

  • 1 (8 oz) tub sugar-free whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip Free or homemade—you love blood sugar friendly!)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (high-protein—you love this!)
  • 2 tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Optional add-ins:

  • ½ cup mini marshmallows (use sugar-free—you love marshmallow combos!)
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans or almonds (you love nuts!)

Instructions

1. Prep fruit:
In a large bowl, gently toss strawberries and banana slices with lemon juice.
2. Make fluff:
In another bowl, fold together whipped topping, Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese), sweetener (if using), and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
3. Combine:
Gently fold fruit into fluff mixture. Stir in optional marshmallows or nuts if using.
4. Chill & serve:
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours). Serve chilled.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfection:
Add bananas last—minimizes browning and mushiness.
Use full-fat Greek yogurt—adds creaminess and protein without thinning.
