Protein Banana Pudding (Printable Version)

Creamy banana custard layered with sugar-free wafers and fresh banana slices for a nutritious delight.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pudding Layer

01 - 2/3 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
02 - 1/3 cup vanilla whey protein powder
03 - 4 teaspoons sugar-free banana cream flavor instant pudding mix
04 - 2 teaspoons unsweetened almond milk

→ Layers & Toppings

05 - 3 sugar-free vanilla wafers, crushed
06 - 1/2 medium banana, sliced

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, pudding mix, and almond milk until smooth and creamy. Add additional almond milk as needed to achieve desired consistency.
02 - Divide crushed vanilla wafers evenly between two jars or serving cups, creating the bottom layer in each container.
03 - Distribute banana slices evenly over the wafer layer in both jars, reserving a few slices for garnish if desired.
04 - Spoon half of the protein custard mixture over the banana slices in each jar, distributing evenly.
05 - Repeat with remaining crushed wafers, banana slices, and protein custard to create a second complete layer in each jar.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and pudding to set completely before serving.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like a classic dessert but delivers 20 grams of protein per serving, so you're actually nourishing your body.
  • Zero cooking required means you can make this in your pajamas while your coffee brews.
  • The layering magic happens in the fridge, so you can prep it and forget about it.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chill time thinking you can eat it immediately—those wafers need moisture to transform from hard to tender, and that takes time.
  • If your pudding mixture seems too thick before chilling, it'll only get firmer, so err on the slightly looser side with your almond milk ratio.
03 -
  • Freeze a banana slice and place it on top of your pudding just before eating for a fun texture surprise and natural chill.
  • If you're dairy-free, plant-based Greek yogurt and vegan protein powder swap in seamlessly without changing the final result.
