Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Core and dice the apples into bite-sized cubes (leave the skin on for added crunch and color, if preferred). Add them to the bowl with the bananas.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the bananas and apples to prevent browning and gently toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, honey, and cinnamon powder until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the yogurt mixture over the fruit and gently fold everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the roasted peanuts over the salad and give it a light toss to distribute them throughout.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
