Low-Cal Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

Frozen chocolate covered bananas are one of my summer time favorites, but you don't have to wait for the county fair to enjoy that delicious flavor. This recipe is simple, inexpensive, and surprisingly low-cal. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

What you need:
1 package sugar free chocolate pudding mix
1 package sugar free banana pudding mix (I've only seen this flavor as Jell-o brand)
2 1/2 cups milk
Optional ingredients:
Sugar free Hershey's syrup (or the sugary one, whatever ;))
Cool Whip Lite
(and a pie crust if you prefer)

What to do:
Empty contents of both pudding mixes into a big round storage container bowl. Close the lid and shake them up so the chocolate and banana are evenly mixed. Pour in cold milk and stir to get the pudding from the bottom mixed in. Close the lid again and shake vigorously for 45 seconds - 1 minute. Drizzle a bit of chocolate syrup on top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

If you prefer your pie to have a crust, pour the mixture into a pie crust before refrigerating. You could also enjoy it in scoops over graham crackers or Oreo crisps. The possibilities are endless. I prefer it alone on a plate with a little Cool Whip Lite on top.

Nutrition Info:
Prepared with skim milk and sugar free Hershey's syrup, and cut into 6 "pieces", each "piece" has about 80 calories.

Enjoy!
