High Protein Banana Pudding
Ingredients
-
1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (whey or casein works best for thickness)
-
1/2 package (approx. 14g) Sugar-free instant banana or vanilla pudding mix
-
1/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk (add more for a thinner consistency)
-
1 small Banana, sliced
-
8-10 Low-fat vanilla wafers
-
Optional: Fat-free whipped topping for garnish
Instructions
-
Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, and sugar-free pudding mix until smooth.
-
Adjust Consistency: Slowly stir in the almond milk. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the pudding mix to set.
-
Layer the Pudding: In a glass or jar create layers starting with a few vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, and then a generous spoonful of the protein pudding.
-
Repeat: Continue layering until the container is full or ingredients are used up.
-
Chill: For the best texture, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the wafers to soften slightly into the pudding.
-
Garnish: Top with a dollop of whipped topping, an extra banana slice, and one whole wafer before serving.
