Bethenny never met a snack she couldn't zhuzh up. Case in point: this Supermodel Chocolate Pudding, inspired by (okay, borrowed from) her daughter's stash of sugar-free pudding cups. Bethenny’s supermodel snacks are all about turning something basic into something fabulous and healthy, and this creamy, protein-packed treat does exactly that. The magic here is combining rich chocolate pudding with zero-sugar yogurt—because more protein is always better, duh—and a frozen banana that's just thawed enough to get silky-smooth and chilly. Feeling extra? Toss in minuscule chocolate chips and slivered almonds for crunch and even more protein. If you're really living, a splash of banana extract kicks up the flavor another notch. (That's totally optional—your kitchen, your rules.) Customize it however you like with coconut flakes, granola, berries, or other mix-ins. Bonus points if you serve it in cute parfait cups, because according to Bethenny, great snacks deserve to look just as good as they taste.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 container sugar-free chocolate pudding
- 1/2 container plain zero-sugar Greek yogurt
- 1/2 frozen banana, slightly thawed
- Minuscule chocolate chips
- Slivered almonds (optional, but Bethany-approved)
- Tiny splash banana extract (optional, for extra banana-ness)
Instructions:
- Scoop half of a sugar-free chocolate pudding cup into a bowl. (Use the whole cup if you’re making two servings.)
- Mix in half a container of plain zero-sugar Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein. Again, double up and use the whole container if you’re making this for two.
- Slightly thaw your frozen banana, then mash and stir into the pudding-yogurt mixture until smooth. (Feel free to use an immersion blender if you want it super silky.)
- If you’re going big, add a tiny splash of banana extract to amp things up even more.
- Fold in minuscule chocolate chips and slivered almonds, or any of your favorite extras.
- Serve chilled in adorable parfait cups, because snacks should be cute.
