Notes

  • No bananas? Try this with other fresh, frozen or canned fruit. Our testers enjoyed it made with 1 cup frozen mango. We added 1 Tablespoon lemon juice to brighten the flavor. You could also use lime juice.

Comments

We altered this using a combination of frozen mango and canned pineapple instead of the banana. Also, we added lime juice, vanilla, and a little sugar as per the recipe and then froze to make delicious popsicles. These were a big hit as a finale treat after we had our Walk with Ease session. 

I love this recipe! I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to enhance the flavor. I also added a bit of nutmeg on my personal serving. I definitely recommend, it is quick easy, and a great way to use ripe bananas. Plus the tofu adds nice protein.

I love this non-dairy pudding recipe! It always tastes great but the mashed banana can look a little off. To make it look more appealing, I suggest blending the bananas in a food processor or blender and then blending in the tofu and other ingredients until smooth. Topping it with a little cinnamon will also hide the natural browning from the banana. I've served this to several 1st grade classes and the kids loved it!
