Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup non-fat Greek yogurt 150g, cold for best results
  • 1/3 cup vanilla whey protein powder 30g
  • 4 tsp sugar-free banana cream instant pudding mix 11g
  • 2 tsp unsweetened almond milk 10ml, added gradually
  • 3 sugar-free vanilla wafers 14g, crushed
  • 1/2 medium banana 60g, sliced thin, ripe but firm

Equipment

  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Whisk
  • Jars or serving cups
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add cold Greek yogurt, protein powder, banana cream pudding mix, and almond milk to a medium bowl. Whisk together until smooth and thick with no dry powder streaks. Add almond milk one teaspoon at a time to control consistency.
  2. Crush the vanilla wafers into small uneven pieces and slice the banana into thin rounds. Set both aside before layering.
  3. Spoon a layer of pudding into the bottom of a jar or serving cup. Add a layer of crushed wafers, then a layer of banana slices.
  4. Repeat the layers one more time for two full layers of each. Cover and chill for at least 15 to 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use cold yogurt straight from the fridge for the creamiest texture. Add almond milk gradually to avoid runny custard. Use ripe but firm bananas without brown spots. Can substitute regular vanilla wafers or graham crackers. Prepare custard base ahead and assemble layers just before serving to keep wafers from getting too soft.
