Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping (Optional)
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Blend the Pudding Mixture: In a blender, combine the vanilla protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Layer the Pudding: In serving cups or bowls, alternate layers of sliced bananas and the protein pudding mixture. This layering creates a beautiful presentation and balanced flavor in every bite.
- Top with Grahams: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top of each pudding serving if desired for added crunch and sweetness.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled puddings for at least 1 hour. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld together and the pudding to set nicely before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as cow’s milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
- The crushed graham crackers are optional but add a nice texture contrast; you could also use granola or nuts instead.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and a vegan protein powder.
- Make sure bananas are ripe for the best natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Adjust honey amount based on your preferred level of sweetness.
