Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt nonfat or 2%
  • 1 cup light whipped topping or coconut whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
  • 4 medium ripe bananas sliced
  • 30 reduced-fat vanilla wafers
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  2. Gently fold the light whipped topping into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated and creamy.
  3. Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch rounds and toss them gently with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. In a 2-quart serving dish or individual cups, create layers starting with vanilla wafers on the bottom, followed by yogurt mixture, then banana slices. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with yogurt mixture on top.
  5. Crush 3-4 vanilla wafers and sprinkle on top. Optionally add a few banana slices for decoration.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours to allow flavors to meld and wafers to soften.
  7. Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator. Best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal texture.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and natural flavor. The pudding can be made up to 8 hours ahead, but add the top layer of banana slices just before serving to keep them fresh. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, add an extra tablespoon of honey or use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt.
