High Protein Banana Pudding (Printable)

Silky Greek yogurt custard layered with fresh bananas and crunchy vanilla wafers.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pudding Layer

01 - 0.67 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
02 - 0.33 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 whole sugar-free vanilla wafers, crushed
06 - 0.5 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 a splash more almond milk if needed to achieve desired consistency.
02 - Distribute half of the crushed vanilla wafers evenly between two jars or serving cups, pressing them lightly to form a compact base.
03 - Arrange a layer of banana slices over the wafer base in each jar, reserving a few slices for garnish if desired.
04 - Spoon half of the protein custard mixture over the bananas in each jar, spreading evenly to cover the fruit layer.
05 - Repeat the layering process with remaining crushed wafers, banana slices, and finish with the remaining protein custard on top.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and pudding to set properly before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Tastes like the banana pudding your grandmother made but actually fuels your fitness goals instead of derailing them
  • The protein custard texture is ridiculously creamy, nothing like the chalky protein snacks you are used to
  • Ready in 15 minutes and you probably have everything in your fridge right now
02 -
  • If your protein mixture looks way too thick, add almond milk one teaspoon at a time until it reaches pudding consistency
  • The vanilla wafers get soggy after a few hours, so these are best enjoyed within 24 hours
  • Different protein powders absorb moisture differently, so you might need to adjust your liquid amounts
03 -
  • Let your Greek yogurt sit on the counter for 5 minutes before mixing, as room-temperature yogurt blends much more smoothly with protein powder
  • Crush the vanilla wafers while they are still in the package using a rolling pin or meat mallet to save yourself from washing extra dishes
