Brain Food

Since I have a big exam tomorrow {1st one for this particular class} and I want to procrastinate studying longer have some awesome "brain food" to help me study better, I decided to make some banana pudding! What's better brain food than bananas?!

It's super easy to make and totally delicious! There are several different ways to make it but here's what I did...

You need:

  • 1 large package of cook & serve vanilla pudding {not instant}
  • 3 C of milk
  • vanilla wafers {I am using "mini's" in an effort to get more in each bite!}
  • bananas {I used 2 and a half}
  • fat free cool whip {for fewer calories! ;-)}
  • I usually have one more ingredient, but I'm out of it. It's Beth's "secret ingredient"... not sure if she wants me to post it! haha

Prepare pudding as directed. Put a layer of bananas and vanilla wafers in the bottom of the container. Pour in about half of the pudding and add some cool whip if you want. Then add another layer of bananas and vanilla wafers, and add the rest of the pudding. I put a few more bananas on top for good measure. Cover with cool whip. Chill, serve, and enjoy!

Quick & delicious.. my favorite kind of food! :) Enjoy! Mmm!

Edited to add: Nearly just as good without the "secret ingredient!" Also, I made this barely 4 hours ago and it's almost half gone. Granted, it is a fairly small container, but we sure do like some banana puddin' around here. :)

  1. Did you actually put cool whip in the middle??? did it not melt since the pudding was hot??? and it's definately better with the secret ingredient :)

    and you can serve and enjoy while it's still warm...it's good that way too.
