This is one of those "treats" my kids get out of bed for on a school morning!  They get super excited to make their own banana split, which they can do all on their own.  And it helps me out at the same time trying to get them ready.  We sometimes add chopped nuts on top to add another food group and another great topping for them to choose from.
