Skinny Monkey

Who remembers Chunky Monkey ice cream?  It is so delicious! The ice cream, the bananas, the nuts, the chocolate... and the calories (dun dun dunnnn!). How about a delicious dessert that doesn't require the use of the word Chunky? How about a... skinny monkey?

Hmm. That gets the gears turning...Move over, Chunky Monkey! With 5 ingredients (including pudding instead of ice cream) and only 2 steps for preparation, this recipe might even upstage the original...

Ingredients:
  • 1 package Banana (or Vanilla) Pudding
  • 3 Bananas
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 2 cups Skim Milk
Directions:
  1. Combine pudding mix and skim milk and stir until well mixed. Set in the fridge for 1 hour.
  2. Add walnuts, chocolate chips, and sliced bananas and stir.
  3. Serve!

    This is seriously delicious. I used french vanilla pudding, and I totally didn't wait for an hour to eat it. ;)

    I just made this and it is AWESOME!!! I used 1 1/2 cup skim milk and 1/2 cup light cool whip to make it a tad thicker(I almost always make pudding this way, just preference of the hubs and mine) I also only used two bananas instead of three (for some reason the bananas at our store are MASSIVE) Thanks for sharing! I love your blog =]
