Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 0.67 cup non-fat Greek yogurt cold, thick and strained
  • 0.33 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 4 tsp sugar-free banana cream instant pudding mix
  • 2 tsp unsweetened almond milk cold, added one teaspoon at a time
  • 3 sugar-free vanilla wafers crushed
  • 0.5 medium banana sliced into thin rounds, ripe but firm with no brown spots

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, and banana cream pudding mix. Stir until fully blended and no dry powder remains visible.
  2. Add almond milk one teaspoon at a time, stirring well after each addition, until a thick pudding consistency is reached. Do not add all the milk at once.
  3. Crush the vanilla wafers into rough crumbles and slice the banana into thin even rounds.
  4. In a jar or serving cup, layer pudding on the bottom, then crushed wafers, then banana slices. Repeat for a second full layer of each component.
  5. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 to 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use cold yogurt and cold milk for the smoothest texture. Add milk gradually to avoid a runny pudding. Use ripe but firm bananas so slices hold their shape in the layers. Store custard base separately and assemble fresh layers before eating if prepping ahead. Toss banana slices in a small squeeze of lemon juice to slow browning. Substitute granola for vanilla wafers for extra crunch and fiber.
