Notes

Prevent Browning: Toss banana slices in a little lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.
Make it Lighter: Use sugar-free pudding, low-fat cream cheese, and light whipped topping.
Nut-Free Version: Simply leave out the nuts or replace them with granola for some crunch.
Storage: Best enjoyed within 24 hours, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
