Ingredients
Scale
Protein Pudding Base
- 0.67 cup (150g) non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.33 cup (30g) vanilla whey protein powder
- 4 teaspoons (11g) sugar-free banana cream flavor instant pudding mix
- 2 teaspoons (10ml) unsweetened almond milk
Layers
- 3 whole sugar-free vanilla wafers (recommended), crushed (14g)
- 0.5 whole medium banana, sliced (60g)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder, sugar-free banana cream pudding mix, and unsweetened almond milk. Add the milk gradually, a little at a time, while whisking until you reach a smooth mixture with a pudding-like consistency.
- Prepare the layering ingredients: Crush the sugar-free vanilla wafers until fine crumbs form, and slice the medium banana into even slices.
- Assemble the pudding layers: Using jars or serving cups, layer the pudding mixture on the bottom, followed by a layer of crushed vanilla wafers, then banana slices. Repeat to build two layers of each ingredient, ending with banana slices on top.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled pudding jars for at least 15 to 30 minutes. Chilling enhances the flavor blend and improves the texture to a creamy consistency.
Notes
- Use cold milk and Greek yogurt for the best pudding consistency.
- Add almond milk gradually to avoid making the pudding runny.
- Choose ripe but firm bananas without brown spots for optimal flavor and texture.
- You can substitute regular vanilla wafers or graham crackers if preferred.
- Store the pudding refrigerated and consume within 1 week for freshness.
