Ingredients
Scale
Protein Pudding
- 0.67 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (150g)
- 0.33 cup whey vanilla protein powder (30g)
- 4 teaspoons banana cream flavor instant pudding mix, sugar-free (11g)
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened almond milk (10ml)
Layering Ingredients
- 3 whole vanilla wafers, sugar-free recommended (14g), crushed
- 0.5 whole medium banana, sliced (60g)
Instructions
- Prepare the protein pudding: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder, banana cream flavor instant pudding mix, and unsweetened almond milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually add the almond milk, a little at a time, to achieve a pudding consistency without making it too runny.
- Prepare layering ingredients: Crush the sugar-free vanilla wafers into small pieces and slice the banana into thin, even slices to ensure easy layering and balanced flavors in each bite.
- Assemble the pudding layers: In jars or serving cups, start by placing a layer of the protein pudding on the bottom. Add a layer of crushed vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of sliced bananas. Repeat these layers to create two complete layers of pudding, wafers, and banana slices.
- Chill for best results: Refrigerate the assembled pudding jars for at least 15 to 30 minutes before serving. Chilling enhances the flavor and texture, allowing the pudding to firm up slightly and the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Notes
- Use cold milk and Greek yogurt for the best pudding consistency.
- Add almond milk gradually to avoid making the custard too runny.
- Use ripe but firm bananas without brown spots for optimal flavor and texture.
- Vanilla wafers can be substituted with regular vanilla wafers or graham crackers if preferred.
- Store the pudding refrigerated for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
