Better to find other flavors that he likes that CAN be made more "diabetic
friendly," IMHO, if she wants to do him a favor. What will happen here, I
bet, is that he will have it too often since he will think it is okay, and
it will blow his BGs every time. But anyway...

The best solution for comparatively low-carb banana pudding might be to
simply go to the store and buy an instant artificially-sweetened pudding in
a flavor like cheesecake or white chocolate, prepare it according to package
directions, and add the sliced bananas to it. (Who knows, they may even make
it in banana flavor.) And if she wants to make it more mousse-like, tell her
to use half the stated volume of liquid and make it cream instead of milk.

And forget the wafers, unless she wants to make something with egg whites,
almond or coconut flour, artificial sweetener, and vanilla. (Actually,
something like that could be quite good...)

I think that is what I would do if I were doing it. A nice topping
could be sugar free cool whip, or even real whipped cream with
splenda.

so far i think its going to be the instant banana sugar free pudding with
greek yogurt instead of milk, fat free/sugar free crackers instead of nilla
wafers, bananas sliced lengthwise and very thin to use less bananas but
still have the things there, a drop or two of banana extract and a drop or
two of vanilla... we are both trying to decide about the whey powder.

I always add whey to mine because nutritionally speaking the Jell-O is
useless the whey gives it value

i can assure you he won't eat it often, in fact he requested her to make
this so he wouldn't do it himself... she has dealt with diabetics before but
her husband of thirty years never ate puddings... this new friend has
requested she make it, and at her house so he can taste it but not have it
in his frig talking to him, she can take or leave puddings so he can have a
serving for lunch, they will watch his levels for the hourly schedule and
then go from there, i know they make instans sugar free banana, as a friend
once made some, not telling me it had nutracrap in it, that cost me almost
three hundred dollars at the urgent care.

i was also wondering if she used a little vanilla if that would help
taste... and he has specified graham crackers... like his mom makes? never
heard of g/c for banana pudding... but i know those come in fat free and low
salt just not sure about sugar free. Lee

I haven't followed the entire thread, but I just googled two low carb recipes

http://en.petitchef.com/recipes/suga...ng-fid-1016858

http://www.food.com/recipe/low-carb-...pudding-416513

plus this one which should be a good resource

http://www.americastestkitchen.com/s...=banana&page=1

it has premium content, but you can sign up for 14 days free

Also, I believe that Toranini has a sugar free banana flavored syrup

I have in my hand a box of banana cream and pistachio jell-o pudding boxes

they are the instant sugar free-fat free ones

no two stores seem to carry the same flavors so I get them when I can.

the white chocolates not bad and the lemons pretty good the chocolate and
vanilla are not so good to me.

the pistachio is exactly same as the regular one to me...so its my favorite.

again I augment them with heavy cream for mouth feel and taste but they are
fine with regular milk.

oh I often mix 4 scoops whey protein powder into it for added value since
they contain non regularly.

the protein powder adds 21 g protein and 120 calories so a serving is 145
calories

What kind of whey protein powder do you prefer, Krom? I know nothing about
it and am interested in trying it.

TaniO

it is pricey but I like optimum nutrition's natural 100 percent whey

as long as it doesnt have a ton of extra junk in it..you can usually tell
by carb and calorie count..any carb over 3 per scoop is way to much..they
are adding filler or sugars.

when I'm broke I use ultimate nutrition's whey or whatever decent carb count
one I can get on sale at nutrition.com

but again I check for carb/calorie count per scoop should be about 120
calories per scoop and 2 carb

if you mix it very well it helps add bulk and firmness to it making it a
firmer pudding.

if you buy a cheap whey like pure protein's from Wal-Mart it will separate
and leave you a pudding oozing liquid..not tasty..

I use a large lock n lock container and shake the heck out of it but a hand
mixer would be good to

I sometimes add unflavored gelatin and a tiny bit guar gum if I want it pie
like.

nice thing is you can adjust the sweetness and texture how you like it.

when I want it super sweet I add splenda with fiber along with the whey so
I get protein and fiber with a serving.

you could make your own pudding using guar gum and or gelatin plus
flavorings and even carablos and milk.

I don't know what sweetener you can use but shouldnt be hard to make it
from scratch.
