Cool Recipe: Chocolate Banana Pudding Pop
Email PageStaff Writer
When it's hot and you're in the mood for something cool, skip the high-calorie concoctions at your local ice cream shop and go for a smooth, delicious treat that's also pretty good for you.
We're not talking about oversized ice cream bars, like the Original Dove Bar, which weighs in at 320 calories and 21 grams of fat. (Not cool.) Instead, opt for a chocolate banana pudding pop that also packs a nutritious punch.
The fiber-rich bananas in this recipe increase the satisfaction factor, while contributing potassium and vitamin C. Fat-free milk offers calcium, while fat-free half and half adds creaminess without the tons of fat or calories.
Chocolate Banana Pudding Pop
3/4 cups fat-free milk

2 medium bananas
1 package fat-free sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix
Combine milk and half and half in a bowl and mix. Whisk in pudding mix and stir one minute or until dissolved; combine with banana in blender and puree until smooth. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze overnight. Makes 4 servings.
