Healthy Banana Pudding

The warmer weather is coming, friends!! I can just feel it! Before we know it, Keith will be mowing the grass again, school will be out for the summer (ack!), and we will be splashing around in our bathing suits trying to keep cool! And when I think of warmer sunny temps, one of the first treats that comes to mind is Banana Pudding. It’s cool, creamy, and absolutely delicious.

A few summers ago, I shared a recipe for Quick and Easy Banana Pudding, which my friend Linda gave me. Today I’m giving you my new and improved version, which is perfectly appropriate for picnics (it’s portable!), and it’s a lot kinder on the waistline…making it ideal for bathing suit season!

I also love that you can prep this Healthy Banana Pudding in advance in just about 5 minutes. It’s even nutritious enough that you can enjoy it for breakfast-on-the-go or for snacking at your desk. This, my friends, is a true multi-tasker!

Healthy Banana Pudding 1

ingredients

Are you ready for the quick and easy 5-minute prep? First, grab your favorite clean bowl or jar! I like to use the little mason jars, but anything in your cabinet will work!

Place a layer of vanilla wafer cookies at the bottom of the jar or glass. One cookie fits perfectly in my little jars, but you can obviously use more if necessary.

Top the cookie with a layer of yogurt,

and then add some sliced bananas.

Repeat the layers one more time, and then finish off your Healthy Banana Pudding with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Mmmm, mmmm, good!

Healthy Banana Pudding {Individually Portioned in Your Favorite Glassware!}

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 4
Author The Seasoned Mom

Ingredients

  • 8 vanilla wafer cookies
  • 1 cup vanilla-flavored Greek-style yogurt
  • 1 large banana or 2 small bananas, sliced
  • ½ cup fat-free whipped topping thawed
  • Optional: caramel sauce for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place vanilla wafer cookies in the bottom of your favorite glassware. I like to use small mason jars, so one cookie fits perfectly in the bottom of each. If you prefer a larger dish, you may need 2-3 cookies for each layer.
  2. Top cookie with a layer of vanilla yogurt (approximately 2 tablespoons per layer).
  3. Add a layer of banana slices on top of the yogurt (I use 3 thin slices of banana per layer).
  4. Repeat layers, starting with the cookies again.
  5. Top with a dollop of whipped topping and drizzle with a small amount of caramel sauce, if desired.
  6. Note: These are best if you allow them to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours so that the cookies soften and all of the ingredients come together!

    Haha, my husband is always asking why we have so many empty jars at the house…so happy I’m not the only jar-hoarder out there! And I LOVE these yummy healthy pudding cups! I make something similar for myself all the time, but I’ve never tried it with caramel sauce…I feel like I’ve been missing out this whole time! Absolutely making this recipe SOON!

      Anna, the caramel sauce might be the least healthy ingredient on the list, but it’s also the most delicious. 🙂
