HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY BANANA PUDDING WITH YOGURT
STEP 1 – BANANA + YOGURT
- Blend the banana and the greek yogurt. Firstly, I always blend the banana and the greek yogurt until they come into a smooth paste. If you prefer you might leave some banana pieces to decorate on top.
STEP 2 – WALNUTS
- Quarter or blend the walnuts into a smooth paste. Now, it’s simply a matter of taste whether to blend completely the walnuts into a smoothie, leave a couple to put on top, or just quarter them without blending them. I really like to blend the walnuts well giving the banana yogurt mix a toffee taste like in a banoffee pie.
STEP 3 – SERVE THE 3 INGREDIENT BANANA PUDDING
- Serve this in a nice ice-cream cup with bananas and walnuts on top! If you wish, you can also decorate with dark chocolate chips.
- The recipe freezes easily and can be used to serve later as an “ice-cream”. The taste is awesome only with less sugar involved!
TOP TIPS
- Ice cream? The recipe is great for freezing and then you can also serve it as an “ice-cream”.
- No blender? Crush the walnuts before and store them in an air-tight container as flour. All you’ll need is a fork to crush the banana and mix in the “walnut flour'”
- Gain some time? Serve them in a jug with chunks of banana, halved walnuts, and greek yogurt. The nice thing about the recipe is that you don’t need to crush anything to taste great and you give yourself the required nutrition during the day.
- Any kids in the family? This is a huge winner with kids that even don’t like these ingredients separately. However, make sure that you have a blender that can smooth all the walnuts 100% before serving to a child. Add some almond milk so that the mixture blends easily.
