ok i have a friend that wants to make a banana pudding, knowing that this is
not generally a diabetic friendly dish, i am wondering if anyone has one
that is less carbs, or if the graham crackers/'nillia wafers come in a sugar
free or carb reduced version.

the goal here is to make it as friendly to a diabetic as possible, we can
use prepared products or from scratch, splenda and nutra crap are both ok,
it needs to be one of those layered things in the cassarole dish... after we
have a decent tasting recipe, the remainder of the carb control will be done
through attempted portion control... on that note the maker of the dish will
be keeping it at her house, and serving said dish to friend, so she will not
have guilt about the carbs as it won't be going home with him...

Bananas - Dehydrated - (1 cup) 88 c
Bananas - Raw - (1 medium (7" to 7-7/8" long)) 28 c

I think it's the bananas are the problem. My doc says eat them with some
protein, but I don't know what kind you could add

i know the pudding should be made with a sweetener, i was wondering about
using whey powder in the pudding, and i also thought about greek yogurt as
part of the pudding as the protien seems a bit higher than most other dairy
items, Lee

Agree with you there. Perhaps you could do a sugar free vanilla pudding and
add banana flavor?

so far she is going to slice bananas lengthwise very thin to use less
bananas to start with, make bananaflavored pudding using the flavoring, not
sure if that will be premade or scratch, she is going to see whcich has less
carvs, she will use greek ygurt if its the premade instead of milk... and we
are both researching whey protien to see if that can play a part in the
pudding to increase protien and maybe reduce the thickener.

Lee,

Unfortunately, this is just not a dish that can be made
Diabetic-friendly. The main ingredients of pudding are milk and corn
starch, two very carbohydrate laden products. Add the vanilla wafers,
which do not come in a low-carb version, then add bananas which are a
whopping 30 grams per banana (average size).

Even a small serving of banana pudding can use up an entire meal's carb
allowance for many Diabetics.

Pudding, even sugar-free versions is not something that should be in a
diabetic's diet if he or she is really watching their carbohydrate intake.

I am reminded of my DH's mother who was highly insulted that he didn't
want a heaping bowl full of her sugar-free pudding that she made with
skim milk.

Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does.

that is a big part of the reason i asked here, we don't use premade pudding
of anykind and rarely make puddings from scratch, when we do its chocolate,

When I was pregnant, the dietician insisted that I eat 5 servings of fruit
per day or I would harm the baby. I was never able to do that. If I was
lucky I could get in one serving. The baby came out fine.

I did get a recipe in a nasty diabetic cookbook that used sugar free vanilla
pudding. I can't remember now if it was the instant one of the kind you
have to cook. I vaguely remember cooking it. It was mixed with a red
Jell-O and then berries were added. The end result was supposed to be like
a pie filling. I don't really like Jell-O, pudding or pie but somehow the
combination of these things made it possible for me to manage to eat a few
bites. The carb count wasn't overly high because I dished it out into
little disposable cups. In the beginning I worried that I might like it too
much and eat too much. Not to worry. I never finished one cup. But I was
able to eat a couple of bites.

I like Jell-O puddings fat/sugar free banana and pistachio pudding...I use a
splash of heavy cream to give it a nice mouth feel and richness.

doesnt budge my meter at all and tastes as good as regular.

as far as the nilla cookies part I would suggest checking the organic isle
and just use like one maybe two cookies per serving.
