Ingredients

  • Two fully ripened bananas sliced into coins
  • One container 4-serving size of sugar-free vanilla-flavored instant pudding powder (dry, no liquid added)
  • One 15-ounce can of mandarin segments packed in light syrup undrained
  • Approximately 2 cups of fresh pineapple peeled, cored, and chopped into small, bite-ready pieces

Instructions

  • Slice the bananas into thin rounds and cut the fresh pineapple into small, uniform chunks.
  • Place the prepared pineapple, banana slices, and entire contents of the mandarin orange can—including the syrup—into a large mixing bowl.
  • Sprinkle the dry vanilla pudding powder over the fruit mixture. Do not add milk or any additional liquids.
  • Using a spatula or large spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until the pudding mix fully coats the fruit and the salad takes on a creamy consistency.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 1 hour before serving. Serve cold.
