Ingredients
  

For the Pudding
  • 1 large Ripe Banana Adds natural sweetness and creaminess; substitute with applesauce for a lower-calorie option.
  • 2 cups Almond Milk Acts as a liquid base; you can swap it for any non-dairy milk or dairy milk if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Provides natural sweetness; honey or agave syrup can be used as alternatives.
