Ingredients

⅔ cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt (150g)
⅓ cup Whey Vanilla Protein Powder (30g)
4 tsp Banana Cream Flavor Instant Pudding Mix (11g, Sugar free)
2 tsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (10ml)
3-4 crushed Vanilla Wafers (Sugar Free recommended, 14g)
½ medium Banana (sliced, 60g)

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, protein powder, banana cream instant pudding mix, and almond milk until smooth. Add the milk slowly to reach a thick pudding consistency.
Step 2: In a jar or serving glass, layer the pudding mixture on the bottom, then sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of banana slices. Repeat the layers once more to create two sets.

Tips & Variations

Use sugar-free vanilla wafers to keep this dessert low in sugar and calories.
Try swapping almond milk for your favorite milk alternative or regular milk for a creamier texture.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth and flavor.
For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt and whey protein with plant-based yogurt and protein powder.

Storage

Store the pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, consume within a day. If the pudding thickens too much after refrigeration, stir in a small amount of almond milk before serving to loosen it up.

Can I make this pudding ahead of time?
