Here’s a simple, quick recipe:
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
-
1 large ripe banana
-
½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
-
½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
-
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
-
Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, cacao nibs, or sliced bananas
Instructions
-
Mash the banana: In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
-
Add protein & yogurt: Mix in Greek yogurt, milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk or blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Chill (optional): For a thicker pudding, refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.
-
Serve: Spoon into bowls and top with sliced bananas, crushed graham crackers, or cacao nibs.
💡 Tips for extra protein & creaminess:
-
Use casein protein instead of whey if you want a thicker, more pudding-like texture.
-
For a no-cook, layered pudding, alternate layers of banana slices and the protein pudding for a parfait effect.
-
A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can make it feel more like a dessert without extra sugar.
If you want, I can make an ultra-creamy, high-protein banana pudding recipe that’s almost like a dessert version but still under 200 calories per serving.
