Notes

Variations:
• Swap the vanilla Greek yogurt for plain Greek yogurt if you prefer less sweetness and want more control over added flavors.
• Add a tablespoon of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for extra crunch and healthy fats. A sprinkling of pumpking seeds, sunflower seeds or chia seeds works, too!
• Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener if you’re using plain yogurt.
Storage:
• This pudding is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The banana may soften over time, so consider adding fresh banana slices just before serving if prepping in advance.
