Irresistible Banana Pudding: A Healthier Twist on a Classic
Are you a fan of classic banana pudding but looking for a healthier alternative? Look no further! This recipe transforms the traditional sweet and sugary treat into a nutritious and delicious dessert. By incorporating Greek yogurt, granola, honey, banana slices, and Skout Organic Banana Pudding Kids Bars, we've created a parfait-like treat that's perfect for warm weather.
Ingredients: (serves 2)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 sliced bananas
- 4-6 Skout Organic Banana Pudding Kids Bars, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
Layer 1: Greek Yogurt
Start by spooning a layer of Greek yogurt into the bottom of a glass or parfait dish.
Layer 2: Granola
Sprinkle a layer of granola over the yogurt. This adds a satisfying crunch and a nutty flavor.
Layer 3: Honey
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the granola. This adds a touch of sweetness to get that dessert-like flavor.
Layer 4: Banana Slices
Add a layer of sliced bananas. Aim for ripe and browning bananas, they’re sweeter than those that are under-ripe.
Layer 5: Skout Organic Banana Pudding Kids Bars
Cut the Skout Organic Banana Pudding Kids Bars into small pieces and layer them on top of the bananas. These bars add a distinctly creamy and smooth element to the parfait.
Repeat the Layers.
Repeat the layers one to two more times depending on the size of your container, ending with a layer of Greek yogurt on top.
