A creamy treat featuring protein custard, sugar-free wafers, and banana slices for a nutritious snack.

# Ingredient List:

→ Pudding Layer

01 - 2/3 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

04 - 2 teaspoons unsweetened almond milk

05 - 3 sugar-free vanilla wafers, crushed

# Recipe Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, pudding mix, and almond milk until smooth and creamy. Add additional almond milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
02 - Divide half of the crushed vanilla wafers between two jars or serving cups, distributing evenly at the bottom of each container.
03 - Layer banana slices over the crushed wafers in each jar, reserving a few slices for topping if desired.
04 - Spoon half of the protein custard mixture evenly over the bananas in each jar.
05 - Repeat with remaining crushed wafers, remaining banana slices, and the rest of the protein custard mixture.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and pudding to set properly.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like a real dessert but packs 20 grams of protein per serving, so you're actually nourishing your body.
  • Zero cooking required means you can have this chilling in your fridge in under 20 minutes.
  • The layers stay interesting—each spoonful hits different textures and flavors that somehow work together perfectly.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chilling time—I tried eating this immediately once and it was soupy and separated, but after 30 minutes in the fridge, the magic happens and everything comes together.
  • The pudding mix matters more than you'd think because it's what gives you that authentic banana pudding flavor without needing actual banana pudding mix loaded with sugar.
03 -
  • Measure your almond milk carefully at first, then adjust based on how thick your Greek yogurt is—some brands are thicker than others, and you want a spreadable consistency, not a soup.
  • If you notice the pudding separating slightly after sitting, give it a gentle stir before serving to bring everything back together.
