4.34 8 Published Jul 03, 2024, Updated Oct 31, 2024 Traditional banana pudding is made with sweetened condensed milk, instant vanilla pudding and cool whip, which isn’t exactly healthy, IMO! For the recipe I’m sharing today I swapped the sweetened condensed milk and instant vanilla pudding mix with vanilla Greek yogurt and then I used coco whip instead of cool whip. The end result was better than I expected. It still has that classic banana pudding flavor, but it’s lighter and is a dessert that I feel better about serving my kids....

Corn – corn cut off the cob is preferable here, but that’s obviously not always available. When it’s not, I use frozen fresh corn. Personally, I dislike canned corn so I would avoid that. Onion – You can use yellow, white, or red onion along with green onions....
