Ingredients
Scale
Protein Pudding
- 0.67 cup (150g) non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.33 cup (30g) whey vanilla protein powder
- 4 teaspoons (11g) banana cream flavor instant pudding mix, sugar-free
- 2 teaspoons (10ml) unsweetened almond milk
Layering Ingredients
- 3 whole vanilla wafers, sugar-free recommended (14g), crushed
- 0.5 whole medium banana (60g), sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Protein Pudding: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, whey vanilla protein powder, banana cream flavor instant pudding mix, and unsweetened almond milk until smooth and creamy. Add the milk gradually, a little at a time, to achieve a pudding-like consistency without making it runny.
- Prepare the Layers: Crush the sugar-free vanilla wafers into small crumbs and slice the banana into thin rounds, ready for layering.
- Assemble the Pudding: In jars or serving cups, layer the pudding mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of crushed vanilla wafers, then a layer of banana slices. Repeat these layers once more to create two complete sets of pudding, wafers, and bananas.
- Chill: Place the assembled pudding jars into the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 to 30 minutes. Chilling allows the layers to meld together and enhances both the flavor and texture.
- Serve: Serve cold directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Enjoy your healthy protein banana pudding as a snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use cold milk and yogurt for best pudding consistency.
- Add milk gradually to prevent runny custard texture.
- Choose ripe but firm bananas without any brown spots for optimal taste and texture.
- You can substitute regular vanilla wafers or graham crackers if sugar-free options are unavailable.
- Store the pudding refrigerated for up to 1 week for freshness.
