# Banana Pie Pudding Pops This DIY Recipe Combines Fresh Bananas and Vanilla Wafers By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-07-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pudding-pops References: [sheknows](http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/1088430/pudding-pop-recipes) These delicious banana pie pudding pops will add a bit of nostalgia to a summer treat. The recipe from 'SheKnows' is a fruity pop that will satisfy kids and it is a healthy alternative to many sugar-filled store bought pops. The creamy banana pop recipe combines one box of [banana pudding mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pudding-pie-filling), two cups of skim milk or low-fat milk, one large banana and a cup of crushed up vanilla wafer cookies. Simply mix this into a large bowl and place into [ice pop molds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minis-with-cream) in the freeze for at least four hours. SheKnows shares another two recipes along with the banana pie pudding pops that are just as easy to make. Try the [chocolate cookies and cream pudding pop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickers-pudding-pie-filling) or the Neapolitan pudding pop. These treats are a fun and easy way to spend time in the kitchen and make a satisfying summer snack. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Pudding Pops:** There is an opportunity for businesses to create DIY pudding pop kits with various flavors and ingredients for consumers to enjoy making at home. - **Healthier Dessert Alternatives:** There is potential for businesses to develop and market healthier dessert alternatives, like these banana pie pudding pops, to meet the demand for guilt-free indulgence. - **Nostalgic Childhood Treats:** Businesses could capitalize on the trend of nostalgia by creating updated versions of classic childhood treats, such as pudding pops, to appeal to both children and adults. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in this industry include the development of innovative and healthier dessert options, as well as DIY kits for making popular treats at home. - **Cooking and Baking Supplies:** There is an opportunity for businesses in this industry to create and market specialized cooking and baking supplies, such as pudding pop molds, to cater to the growing trend of homemade treats. - **Subscription Box Services:** Subscription box services can offer curated monthly boxes with unique flavors and ingredients for DIY pudding pop enthusiasts, creating a convenient and enjoyable experience for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fruit-Forward Pudding Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jello-banana-cream-pudding-ice-cream.md) - [Banana Pudding Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-pudding-cookie.md) - [Clean-Label Frozen Puddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-puddings.md) - [Southern Dessert-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-pudding-flavored-ice-cream.md) - [Comforting Pudding Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-puddin-creme-pies.md) - [Banana Pudding-Flavored Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-banana-pudding-shake.md) - [Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-frozen-bananas.md) - [Pudding-Infused Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pudding-infused-smoothie.md) - [Creamy Banana Pudding Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-wafer-shake.md)
