# How to Make It:

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

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get that nostalgic banana pudding comfort without the sugar crash that derails your entire afternoon
  • Twenty grams of protein per serving means actual satiety instead of that hollow dessert regret twenty minutes later
  • Assembly takes literally fifteen minutes and you probably have everything in your fridge right now
02 -
  • The protein powder you choose makes or breaks this—cheap chalky brands will ruin the texture and you'll taste the artificial sweetness immediately
  • These wafers soften as they sit, so if you prefer some crunch, eat them within a few hours instead of overnight
  • The consistency thickens in the fridge, so make your initial mixture slightly thinner than seems right
03 -
  • Let the assembled pudding sit for at least the full thirty minutes—rushing this step means the wafers won't soften properly and the flavors won't marry
  • If your mixture seems too thick after refrigeration, stir in another teaspoon of almond milk before serving
