How cute are these little Peanut Butter Banana Parfaits?! Individual desserts always feel extra special to me and they’re great to serve guests if you’re having a party or get together. This easy dessert has three layers of deliciousness: a smooth and creamy peanut butter banana base that’s topped with crunchy chocolate cookies and then finished with the new almond milk Reddi-wip®. Sounds delicious like a delicious combo, right?! These little guys are perfect to serve all year round and because they’re dairy free, they’ll please just about anyone! One of my Peanut Butter Banana Parfaits is 2 WW SmartPoints on both the Blue and Green plans.
I’m telling you, folks, this recipe could not be easier to make – it takes just a few ingredients and literally comes together in minutes. Here’s the lineup: frozen bananas, powdered peanut butter, almond milk, chocolate graham crackers, and Reddi-wip Almond Non-dairy Whipped Topping.
Because I wanted to keep my dessert dairy free I picked up the new Reddi-wip® Almond Non-dairy whipped topping which I was able to find in the refrigerated section of my local Walmart. I’m hardcore crushing on this can of goodness because A) No dairy, gluten, artificial flavors or artificial sweeteners, B) 10 calories per serving* (0 WW points), and C) I’m blown away by the delicious almond flavor. Hands down, this is the most flavorful whipped topping I’ve tried! Since discovering this flavor I’ve been whippin’ up (hah, get it?!) my coffees, ice cream, and ooey gooey apples every chance I get. To be honest, I’d never know this was non-dairy if the can didn’t tell me…. #CanOfMagic! They also have a coconut flavor that I’ll most definitely be trying next. *Not a low-calorie food
Alright, back to the recipe, shall we? Into a food processor goes our frozen bananas, powdered peanut butter, and almond milk. Blend everything together until it’s a nice smooth mixture. That’s it? Yup, seriously, that’s it! Now time for the fun part – assembly!
I divided mine into three small glasses. Start by filling the bottom with the peanut butter banana mixture.
Add a layer of crushed chocolate cookies and then top everything off with a serving of Reddi-wip Almond Non-dairy Whipped Topping. Oooooh yeah!
I decided to add a drizzle of peanut butter and a few extra chocolate crumbles to make them look extra fancy. Gotta love a good finishing touch!
Time to dig in! How easy was that?! This yummy combo is seriously the perfect simple sweet treat. I pretty much always have ingredients on hand to make these and it’s good to always have a healthful dessert recipe in your back pocket.
If you want to make these for a party you can do one of two things: 1) Make the peanut butter banana mixture and store in the freezer in a large container. Pull it out about 15-20 minutes before it’s time to eat and once it has slightly thawed you can assemble the parfaits. 2) Make the peanut butter banana mixture and go ahead and divide into the serving glasses. Place a tray of the glasses into the freezer and pull them out about 15 minutes before it’s time to serve. Add the rest of the toppings and enjoy!

I am so excited you are making one of my recipes and I would love to see how it turns out! Make sure to share it on Instagram and tag me @rachelshealtyplate and use #rachelshealthyplate so I can see your creation!
OH! MY! GOOOOOOOSH!!!!! My life is now complete! I cut the recipe into 1/3 for just me and it was perfect. This is soooooo stinking good, thank you!! One question though; is 2 graham crackers 2 whole graham crackers or 1 ripped in the 2 small squares?
So glad you liked it! Good Idea reducing it for a single serving =)
So according to my graham cracker box one “sheet” (full rectangle) is 4 crackers – I’d check your specific box and the points and go by that! #GrahamCrackerMysteries haha
