Ingredients
Scale
Banana Pudding Mixture
- 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)
Layers
- 3–4 crushed Vanilla Wafers (sugar-free recommended, 14g)
- ½ medium Banana, sliced (60g)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, whey vanilla protein powder, banana cream flavor instant pudding mix, and unsweetened almond milk. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, adding the almond milk gradually as needed to achieve a thick pudding consistency.
- Layer the Pudding: Take a clean serving jar or dish. Start by adding a layer of the prepared pudding mixture at the bottom. Next, sprinkle a layer of crushed vanilla wafers evenly over the pudding.
- Add Banana Slices: Place a layer of freshly sliced banana on top of the crushed vanilla wafers, distributing the slices evenly.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process by adding a second layer of pudding, then crushed vanilla wafers, and finally banana slices on top to complete two layers of each component.
- Chill and Serve: Optionally, refrigerate the assembled banana pudding for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the pudding to set slightly before serving. Enjoy chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use sugar-free vanilla wafers to keep the recipe low in sugar.
- Adjust the amount of almond milk to reach your preferred pudding thickness.
- For added texture, you can toast the vanilla wafers lightly before crushing.
- This dessert is best served chilled but can be eaten immediately if preferred.
- Substitute almond milk with other plant-based milks if desired for varied flavor.
