by Jyl Steinback, America's Healthiest Mom

Serves:  6

6 large bananas
2 tsp. lemon juice
2½ cups miniature marshmallows
3 cups fat-free frozen vanilla yogurt
¾ cup fat-free whipped topping
¾ cup maraschino cherries

Prepare a hot grill and lightly spray with nonfat cooking spray. Cut six rectangular sheets (about 12 inches) foil and lightly spray with nonfat cooking spray. Peel banana on one side and remove peel; place peel-side down on foil and cut in center (do not cut all the way through). Sprinkle lemon juice down center of banana and top each banana with ½ cup marshmallows. Fold foil loosely over bananas and place on grill. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, until marshmallows are melted. Remove bananas carefully from packets and place each on a separate plate. Top each banana with ½ cup vanilla yogurt, 2 tablespoons fat-free whipped topping, and cherry. Serve immediately.
