Mock Banana Pudding

no
i am not advocating
that we all make fun of 
banana pudding

but i AM
in favor

of
playing around a bit

i love pudding
but summer is coming
and to eat pudding is a good thing
to appear you are filled with pudding
is not

just for clarification
this does not taste like pudding
but it is creamy
and can be as sweet as you like
and has the requisite
nilla wafers
and chunks of bananas
and is really quite good 
for breakfast
or dessert
mock banana pudding
(printable recipe)
 17 oz tub non-fat or 2% FAGE greek style plain yogurt
(you can use any thick plain yogurt you like, but this is really delish)
1/2 vanilla bean
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp honey
2 bananas
20 miniature nilla wafers
split the vanilla bean in half and scrape out the seeds. drop into the yogurt. add the vanilla and honey. stir to combine.  slice or cut the bananas in chunks.  layer with the yogurt and nilla wafers in a parfait glass.

enjoy without guilt
you can thank me later
